French term or phrase: borne minimale de longueur
Hello,

To me it seems that something is missing after "longueur", but it seems to be a technical term in image processing.

Here is the context:
"L'étape X peut par exemple comprendre les opérations consistant : à rechercher dans l'image un premier segment rectiligne de longueur maximale; à vérifier, en tant que condition de validation de l'étape X, que la longueur du premier segment rectiligne est supérieure à une borne minimale de longueur; "

Please help
Thank you

minimum length indicator / marker


Explanation:
I think there's nothing missing, but it really needs to be read as 'borne de longueur'

Can't quite figure what is going on here, but it seems as if the system has some kind of 'markers' indicating what length is required in order for it to be able to perform the correction properly.
