Segmentation of the object of interest is a difficult step in the analysis of digital images. Fully automatic methods sometimes fail, producing incorrect results and requiring the intervention of a human operator. This is often true in medical applications, where image segmentation is particularly difficult due to restrictions imposed by image acquisition, pathology and biological variation. In this paper we present an early review of the largely unknown territory of human-computer interaction in image segmentation. The purpose is to identify patterns in the use of interaction and to develop qualitative criteria to evaluate interactive segmentation methods. We discuss existing interactive methods with respect to the following aspects: the type of information provided by the user, how this information affects the computational part, and the purpose of interaction in the segmentation process. The discussion is based on the potential impact of each strategy on the accuracy, repeatability and interaction efficiency. Among others, these are important aspects to characterise and understand the implications of interaction to the results generated by an interactive segmentation method. This survey is focused on medical imaging, however similar patterns are expected to hold for other applications as well. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
