Image segmentation is a fundamental problem in Computer Vision which involves segmenting an image into two or more segments. These segments usually correspond to objects of interest in the image, i.e. liver, kidney’s etc. The classic approach to this problem segments the image into mutually exclusive segments. However, this approach is not well-suited when segmenting overlapping objects, e.g. cells, or when segmenting a single object into multiple parts that are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Moreover, we show that optimization methods for multi-part object segmentation with different priors/constraints may better avoid local minima in case of a relaxation allowing parts to …
