Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for optimal segmentation of an image based on multiple segmentations. In particular, multiple segmentation methods can be combined by taking into account previous segmentations. For instance, an optimal segmentation can be generated by iteratively integrating a previous segmentation (e.g., using an image segmentation method) with a current segmentation (e.g., using the same or different image segmentation method). To allow for optimal segmentation of an image based on multiple segmentations, one or more neural networks can be used. For instance, a convolutional RNN can be used to maintain information related to one or more previous segmentations when transitioning from one segmentation method to the next. The convolutional RNN can combine the previous segmentation(s) with the current segmentation without requiring any information about the image segmentation method(s) used to generate the segmentations.
