The images used show a great variety of textures as well as non clear edges. This drawback may result in different contours depending on the person who traces them out and different diagnoses too. This paper presents the results of applying the geodesic active contour and other boundary detection techniques in ecographic images of Aquiles tendon, such as morphological image processing and active contours. Other modifications to this algorithm are introduced, like matched filtering. In order to upgrade the smoothness of the final contour, morphological image processing and polynomic interpolation has been used with great results. Actually, the automatization of boundary detection improves the KW - Teoría de la Señal y las Comunicaciones KW - Tratamiento de imágenes KW - Snake KW - Ecografías del aparato locomotor humano KW - Ultrasound image KW - Image processing KW - Ultrasound scans of the human locomotor KW - Imagen ecográfica LA - spa PB - Garcia Villalba, Luis Javier ER -
