Abstract
Interactive segmentation algorithms should respond within seconds and require minimal user guidance. This is a challenge on 3D neural electron microscopy images. We propose a supervoxel-based energy function with a novel background prior that achieves these goals. This is verified by extensive experiments with a robot mimicking human interactions. A graphical user interface offering access to an open source implementation of these algorithms is made available.Keywords
