Abstract
A computer-implemented method for segmenting an input image, the method comprises: generating a first segmentation of the input image using a first machine learning system, the first segmentation comprising multiple segments; receiving, from a user, at least one indication, wherein each indication corresponds to a particular segment from the multiple segments, and indicates one or more locations of the input image as belonging to that particular segment; constructing, for each segment of the multiple segments having at least one corresponding indication, a respective geodesic distance map, based on the input image and the user indications received for that segment; and generating a second segmentation using a second machine learning system based on the input image and the constructed geodesic distance maps.
