A Randomized Ensemble Approach to Industrial CT Segmentation

Tuning the models and parameters of common segmentation approaches is challenging especially in the presence of noise and artifacts. Ensemble-based techniques attempt to compensate by randomly varying models and/or parameters to create a diverse set of hypotheses, which are subsequently ranked to arrive at the best solution. However, these methods have been restricted to cases where the underlying models are well-established, e.g. natural...
