Abstract
Image segmentation can include a pre-initialization image analysis of image data using an image analysis algorithm to generate a modified image, and the modified image can be presented on a display. An initialization can be performed on the modified image that includes user input on the modified image. The modified image can be segmented using a segmentation algorithm that evaluates the user input. Upon evaluating the user input, the segmentation algorithm can cause a segmented image to be produced which can be presented on the display.
