• Abstract: Watershed segmentation method has been used in various applications. But many a times, due to its over-segmentation attributes, it underperforms in several tasks where noise is a dominant source. In this study, Optical Coherence Tomography images have been acquired, and segmentation has been performed to analyse the different regions of fluid filled sacs in a lemon. A modified watershed algorithm has been proposed which gives promising results for segmentation of internal lemon structures.

  We propose a model-agnostic solution called SegRefiner to enhance the quality of object masks produced by different segmentation models. SegRefiner takes coarse masks as inputs and refines them using a discrete diffusion process. It consistently improves both the segmentation metrics and boundary metrics across different types of coarse masks.

  We propose an unsupervised Skin Lesion sEgmentation framework based on structural entropy and isolation forest outlier Detection, namely SLED. Skin lesions are segmented by minimizing the structural entropy of a superpixel graph constructed from the dermoscopic image. We characterize the consistency of healthy skin features and devise a novel multi-scale segmentation mechanism by outlier detection, which enhances the segmentation accuracy by leveraging the superpixel features from multiple scales.

  We adopt a smoothing-and-thresholding (SaT) segmentation framework that finds awise-smooth solution, followed by $k-means to segment the image. Specifically for the image smoothing step, we replace the maximum noise in the MumfordShah model with a maximum variation of anisotropic total variation (AITV) as a regularization. Convergence analysis is provided to validate the efficacy of the scheme.
