Abstract
A device is configured to determine a contour vector that delineates an object in an image from a remaining portion of the image, and to generate a hash value by applying a hash function to the contour vector. The device is configured to compare the hash value to a previous hash value generated by applying the hash function to a previous contour vector, where the previous contour vector is determined prior to determining the contour vector. The device is configured to determine that the hash value matches the previous hash value and, based on determining that the hash value matches the previous hash value, segment the image using the contour vector.
