Abstract
A new approach is presented here, where the contour extraction problem is posed as a heuristic tree search problem. More specifically, the Zigangirov-Jelinek (ZJ) sequential decoding algorithm is adapted from the field of communications to perform the contour extraction task. Extensive results demonstrate the reliability, robustness and flexibility of this approach, in the sense that a wide variety of contours can be extracted by simple modification of a few key parameters.
