Abstract

It is widely recognized that automatic segmentation is hard, leading to the state where user intervention cannot be avoided. In this paper we review existing literature and propose a systematic approach for the integration of automatic and interactive segmentation methods into one unified process. A framework and requirements for intelligent interactive segmentation are formulated, and an example is presented.
