Area of Science:

Medical Imaging
Computer Vision
Machine Learning

Background:

Active learning is emerging in image segmentation, but primarily for 2D images.
Interactive 3D image segmentation requires significant user input for labeling.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate an active learning strategy for interactive 3D image segmentation.
To reduce the user's burden in providing interactive input for 3D segmentation.

Main Methods:

Framing 3D segmentation as a classification problem, incorporating active learning.
Creating an 'uncertainty field' using boundary, regional, smoothness, and entropy terms.
Identifying and querying the plane of maximal uncertainty for user input.

Main Results:

Achieved an average Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) improvement of 10% over random plane selection in the first five batch queries.
Demonstrated a significant time saving of 64% for users on average.

Conclusions:

The proposed active learning method effectively guides user interaction in 3D image segmentation.
This approach enhances segmentation accuracy and user efficiency in 3D medical image analysis.
