BTools is a collection of applications originally developped for the publication [1]. In this work, we describe a flow driven by the minimization of the elastica energy. Its main applications are the shape-flow and *interactive-seg apps. The latter integrates all the necessary steps to execute a segmentation using the proposed digital flow.

In order to build BTools, you are going to need cmake.
cd [BTOOLS_ROOT_FOLDER]
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make install
There are plenty of configuration parameters, but usually, if all dependencies are installed in their standard locations, that should be enough. Otherwise, if errors occur, it is likely that a manual configuration should be done. In this scenario, ccmake is quite handy.
Build instructions can be found in INSTALL.txt
This source contains eight applications. For detailed description, type: [application] -?
We give output examples of the main applications: shape-flow and interactive-seg
Evolve the digital curvature flow for a given digital shape.
./shape-flow -Striangle -r15 -h0.1
./shape-flow -Sflower -r15 -h0.1
Load a image, select foreground/background seeds and then execute the boundary-correction algorithm.
./interactive-seg.sh -I images/coala.jpg output/coala
