Introducing Geometry in Active Learning for Image Segmentation
We propose an Active Learning approach to training a segmentation classifier
that exploits geometric priors to streamline the annotation process in 3D image
volumes. To this end, we use these priors not only to select voxels most in
need of annotation but to guarantee that they lie on 2D planar patch, which
makes it much easier to annotate than if they were randomly distributed in the
volume. A simplified version of this approach is effective in natural 2D
images. We evaluated our approach on Electron Microscopy and Magnetic Resonance
image volumes, as well as on natural images. Comparing our approach against
several accepted baselines demonstrates a marked performance increase
