1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a processing device, image data describing a digital image depicting an object;
generating, by the processing device, a sample image that includes strips of pixels extracted from the digital image based on a contour of the object;
detecting, by the processing device, a boundary of the object by processing the sample image using a machine learning model trained to detect boundaries of objects using training data describing training digital images and ground truth boundaries of objects depicted in the training digital images; and
outputting, by the processing device, a representation of the boundary of the object for display in a user interface.
