===============
Contour finding
===============
``skimage.measure.find_contours`` uses a marching squares method to find
constant valued contours in an image. Array values are linearly interpolated
to provide better precision of the output contours. Contours which intersect
the image edge are open; all others are closed.
The `marching squares algorithm
<http://www.essi.fr/~lingrand/MarchingCubes/algo.html>`__ is a special case of
the marching cubes algorithm (Lorensen, William and Harvey E. Cline. Marching
Cubes: A High Resolution 3D Surface Construction Algorithm. Computer Graphics
(SIGGRAPH 87 Proceedings) 21(4) July 1987, p. 163-170).
