Deep action learning enables robust 3D segmentation of body organs in various CT and MRI images.

In this study, we propose a novel point cloud based 3D registration and segmentation framework using reinforcement learning. An artificial agent, implemented as a distinct actor based on value networks, is trained to predict the optimal piece-wise linear transformation of a point cloud for the joint tasks of registration and segmentation. The actor network estimates a set of plausible actions and the value network aims to select the optimal action for the current observation.

A Semi-Automated Usability Evaluation Framework for Interactive Image Segmentation Systems.

For complex segmentation tasks, the achievable accuracy of fully automated systems is inherently limited. Specifically, when a precise segmentation result is desired for a small amount of given data sets, semi-automatic methods exhibit a clear benefit for the user. The optimization of human computer interaction (HCI) is an essential part of interactive image segmentation.
