Abstract
An image segmentation system is discloses that provides one or more possible contours of a feature of an image, in parallel, that respectively correspond to different interpretations of the image. First, a relatively large set of possible contours are generated in accordance with an image segmentation algorithm. Subsequently, this set of possible contours is reduced to a few candidates reflecting representative solutions corresponding to one or more desired applications.
