Figure 4

Shape boundary representation of the 9-APR and the third order B-spline schemes. The 9-anatomical points are marked by expert radiologist, Figure 4 (a) represents the marked made on (a1) synthetic and (a2) authentic vertebra image. Figure 4 (b) depicts the generated shape boundary using the 3rd order B-SR in which (b1) represents the 9-APR points, (b2) depicts the 27 equally spaced point over the boundaries measured from (b1) and (b3) depicts the resulting boundary of the vertebra using B-SR.
