Background:

Seeded image segmentation is crucial for identifying objects in images.
Traditional random walk (RW) algorithms are widely used but have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel sub-Markov random walk (subRW) algorithm with label prior for seeded image segmentation.
To unify existing RW algorithms under a common framework and inspire new algorithm development.

Main Methods:

The proposed subRW algorithm introduces auxiliary nodes to a graph, extending the traditional random walker concept.
A new subRW variant was specifically designed for segmenting objects with thin and elongated features.

Main Results:

The subRW algorithm provides a unifying framework for various RW-based segmentation methods.
Experimental results show superior performance of the proposed subRW method over existing RW algorithms for segmenting twig-like structures.

Conclusions:

The subRW algorithm offers a flexible and powerful approach to seeded image segmentation.
The unifying framework facilitates knowledge transfer and innovation in RW algorithm design.
