A method of processing an image containing at least one object boundary, the method comprising producing a contour map of the image in which contours divide the image into zones and merging zones if their statistical properties of their pixels sufficiently match those of the pixels expected of an object that is known or thought to be present in the image. The invention extends to corresponding apparatus. The image may be a medical image, for example an X-ray of a joint. |
