文摘This paper proposes a new algorithm for determining the starting points of contour lines. The new algorithm is based on the interval tree. The result improves the algorithm＇s efficiency remarkably. Further, a new strategy is designed to constrain the direction of threading and the resulting contour bears more meaningful information.
