Performance evaluation of our vcells-MM segmentation compared against eight existing commonly used segmentation methods.

The compared methods utilize various approaches including region-based segmentation, pixel-based segmentation and histogram-based segmentation. For all methods performance are evaluated in terms of mean Jaccard Index (JI) along with standard deviations (±) across forty-five tissue images. The table also reports the mean number of segments generated, as well as the mean execution time (in seconds) for region-based and pixel-based segmentations. Best JI result (the vcells-MM) is marked with bold font.
