Abstract
A method and device for stratified image segmentation are provided. The method includes: obtaining a three-dimensional (3D) image data set representative of a region comprising at least three levels of objects; generating a first segmentation result indicating boundaries of anchor-level objects in the region based on a first neural network (NN) model corresponding to the anchor-level objects; generating a second segmentation result indicating boundaries of mid-level objects in the region based on the first segmentation result and a second NN model corresponding to the mid-level objects; and generating a third segmentation result indicating small-level objects in the region based on the first segmentation result, a third NN model corresponding to the small-level objects, and cropped regions corresponding to the small-level objects.
