Dear Fellow Imagers,



Has anyone come across a reliable method for quantifying the goodness of
segmentation, or at least a discussion addressing this issue? I realize
there are about a billion ways to segment an image, and all segmentation
problems have their unique issues, but it seems to me that it would be good
to have a way to quantify or benchmark various methods objectively. I
improvised recently a sort of z-score of the segmented ROIs versus
background, but I am pretty sure this would not work for all cases. Any
thoughts about this?



All the best,



Jacob Keller
