Abstract
An image segmentation method includes generating a CTN (contour transformer network) model for image segmentation, where generating the CTN model includes providing an annotated image, the annotated image including an annotated contour, providing a plurality of unannotated images, pairing the annotated image to each of the plurality of unannotated images to obtain a plurality of image pairs, feeding the plurality of image pairs to an image encoder to obtain a plurality of first-processed image pairs, and feeding the plurality of first-processed image pairs to a contour tuner to obtain a plurality of second-processed image pairs.
