A Supervised Approach to the Evaluation of Image Segmentation Methods

. Evaluation is an important step in developing a segmentationalgorithm for an image analysis system. We ?rst give a review of segmentationevaluation methods, and then demonstrate how a supervisedevaluation method based on shape features is used in the developmentof a segmentation algorithm for AEuorescence images of white blood cells.1 IntroductionAn image analysis system typically has three major components: image segmentation,feature extraction, and feature analysis. Segmentation is...
