Abstract :
In this paper we present an interactive image segmentation method based on DP (dynamic programming), and extend the method in two aspects. First, we append a training mechanism to enhance the robustness of our approach to local noise; Second, we integrate the region-based segmentation with DP to improve the accuracy of image segmentation. A number of experiments show that our approach performs well on a variety of medical images
