Outer chest contour detection. a Plot of upper half of outer chest boundary pixel coordinates after morphological operations, among which research of the two maximum points, shown with light blue arrows, is performed. b Binary image with the two maximum points in red, identified after morphological operations. The image shows as the latter modifies the minimum position. c Plot of upper half of outer chest boundary pixel coordinate before morphological operations. Between the two already identified maximum points (dashed gray vertical lines), minimum point research is performed. d Binary image with the minimum point in red, identified before morphological operations. e Grey-scale image with the two maximum and the minimum points in red
