In the case of rectilinear contours it has been shown that it is possible to transpose this image processing problem to an array processing problem. The existing straight line characterization method called subspace-based line detection SLIDE leads to models with orientations and offsets of straight lines as the desired parameters. Firstly a high-resolution method of array processing leads to the orientation of the lines. Secondly their offset can be estimated by either the well-known method of extension of the Hough transform or another method namely the variable speed propagation scheme that belongs to the array processing applications field. We associate it with the method called modified forward-backward linear prediction MFBLP . The signal generation process devoted to straight lines retrieval is retained for the case of distorted contours estimation. This issue is handled for the first time thanks to an inverse problem formulation and a phase model determination. The proposed method is initialized by means of the SLIDE algorithm.

INTRODUCTION The estimation of the characteristics of lines and object contours from a sequence of binary images has been a widely studied problem over the past
