Example of gradient threshold refinement step on a scaphoid carpal. In (a) the carpal margins are sufficiently oblique that the adjacent segmentation fails to provide a useful starting point and the segmentation fails. In (b) the gradient threshold refinement step is applied. In (c) the standard active contour algorithm is employed to refine the contour and produce the final result.
