This work introduces a simple deep-learning based method to delineate contours by `walking' along learnt unit vector fields. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our pipeline on the unique case of open contours on the task of delineating the sacroiliac joints (SIJs) in spinal MRIs. We show that: (i) 95 against the original ground truth is below 4.5 pixels (2.5mm for a standard T1-weighted SIJ MRI), and (ii) the proposed method is better than the baseline of regressing vertices or landmarks of contours.
