Muscle Path way data

Hi everyone,
I'm coding with MATLAB and wondering is there any way to get the muscle's curvature data related to segment coordinate?
The easy way is using markers to follow the muscle pathway (curvature) then use marker's position data and fitting curve (picture below).

This way is time consuming and I need to do it several time.
I would appreciate your help.
Best,
Sepehr
