	abstract = {<p>A novel approach to geometric shape preservation of remote sensing SAR sea ice images is presented in this paper. This approach will complement the existing edge detection schemes. The final edge is evolved by iterations. During each iteration all existing edges are checked for missing link and missing links are found by checking the orientation of the existing edges and by searching for best gradient path. When open edges are reduced considerably, opening of the features that are critical for shape preservation are found by tracing the edges and closing the boundary.</p>
