I am looking for ideas on how to get rid of things that stick out from
a smooth outline.

Here is my original picture:http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-4/1174390/Shape.jpg

I want to get rid of the part that is beyond the yellow line in the
image.

But below you have similar detail, concave instead of protruding. How
do you know which part should be removed and which should remain ? If
you want completely smooth shape you can get contour of the shape
and apply some smoothing filter to i.
