5 Results / conclusion 
The model was applied to the data producing the results depicted 
in figures 7 and 8, which may be compared with the pre model 
values shown in figures 5 and 6. 
From figure 5 and 7 we observe that the class label image has 
more uniform regions after the application of the model, though 
the relative contribution of the neighbourhood and boundary 
priors was not evaluated here. 
From figures 6 and 8, we observe that the hardwood boundary 
estimate is improved, though still in error. 
The difficulty of updating a boundary in a relatively cluttered DT 
surface (figure 9) requires further attention, along with the 
specification of the relative weights of each component of the 
model.

a portion of the left side of the boundary has not been well 
corrected.
