Abstract
A system for determining a region of interest in an image. The system includes a memory and an electronic processor. The electronic processor included in the system is connected to the memory and is configured to initialize internal states of nodes of a spatial lattice. Each node of the spatial lattice corresponds to a pixel of the image and is connected to at least one node representing a neighboring pixel of the image. The electronic processor is also configured to iteratively update, using a neural network, the internal states of each nodes in the spatial lattice using spatially gated propagation and identify the region of interest within the image based on the internal states of the nodes at a convergence of the spatial lattice.
