Data format is mean ± standard deviation [rank]; methods are listed in descending order of mean DSC. A lower rank indicates a higher position in the standings. DSC, Sørensen-Dice coefficient; MorphACWE, morphological active contours without edges; MorphGAC, morphological geodesic active contours; MSER, maximally stable extremal regions; SLIC, simple linear iterative clustering.
