Method

Here however, we present an unique training strategy for convolutional neural networks (CNNs) trained on top of an automatic method to enable interactive segmentation editing that is not limited to binary segmentation. By utilizing a robot-user during training, we closely mimic realistic use cases to achieve optimal editing performance.

Dataset

The data used to train the method was from the NCI_ISBI_2013 challenge

Code

1. Create a data-split list and save it somewhere
2. Configure the pahts.py script to match where the data is and where results should be saved
3. Train autoCNN
4. Use the trained autoCNN to train an interCNN
5. Evaluate the results with the eval scripts
