Method and apparatus for image segmentation

摘要

A method and an apparatus for multi-label segmentation of an image are described. In a first step user defined labels are determined (10) for one or more pixels of the image. Then a fraction of the pixels of the image for which no user defined label is determined is pre-initialized (11). Finally, a cellular automaton-based segmentation of the image is performed (12) using the user defined labels and the pre-initialized pixels.
