An automatic approach for segmenting tongue contours in physical correspondences is described in this paper. The goal is to be able to segment large MRI database and to automatically produce vocal tract models from these data. We extend the guided method presented in \cite{peng2010} in order to obtain physically corresponding curves and provide in-deep evaluation of the method.

Keywords: curve segmentation; IRM
