Quantitative comparison of our method with the other five well-known methods using the Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) and the mean sum of square distance (MSSD) standards from the test images in Figure 5.

<p>The number of iterations = 400. In the first and second segmentations of the MSLCV, the numbers of iterations were 350 and 50, respectively. Text in bold indicates the best performance for a specific image.
