Abstract
A method for analyzing an image includes identifying a curved segment of a contour that is associated with noise. The curved segment is smoothed so as to reduce the noise that is associated with the curved segment, thereby providing a smoothed segment. The smoothed segment is transformed to a natural coordinate system, thereby providing a transformed segment. A line is fitted to the transformed segment in order to determine a radius of curvature of the curved segment.
