“…In this section we introduce the method in the context of piecewise-constant segmentation, in a similar way to CDS, as many of the examples of interest contain target objects with approximately homogeneous intensities. However, it is consistent with related methods that do not include this assumption, such as [27], [28], [29], [34], and many others. First, we will introduce the details behind the fitting term we define to incorporate some foreground markers, w f (x) ∈ {0, 1}.…”
