TurtleSeg is an interactive segmentation tool originally designed for 3D medical images. TurtleSeg is developed at the Medical Image Analysis Lab at Simon Fraser University and the Biomedical Signal and Image Computing Laboratory at the University of British Columbia.
Accurate and automatic 3D medical image segmentation remains an elusive goal and manual intervention is often unavoidable. TurtleSeg implements techniques that allow the user to provide intuitive yet minimal interaction for guiding the 3D segmentation process.
TurtleSeg additionally implements a feature called Spotlight, an automated system for automatically directing the user towards the next best place for them to provide input. With Spotlight, there is very little need for the user to understand the underlying algorithm used.
