Abstract
An integrated interactive segmentation with spatial constraint method utilizes a combination of several of the most popular online learning algorithms into one and implements a spatial constraint which defines a valid mask local to the user's given marks. Additionally, both supervised learning and statistical analysis are integrated, which are able to compensate each other. Once prediction and activation are obtained, pixel-wised multiplication is conducted to fully indicate how likely each pixel belongs to the foreground or background.
