We propose a method for targeted segmentation that identifies and delineates only those spatially-recurring objects that conform to specific geometrical, topological and appearance priors. By adopting a “tribes”-based, global genetic algorithm, we show how we incorporate such priors into a faithful objective function unconcerned about its convexity. We evaluated our framework on a variety of histology and microscopy images to segment potentially overlapping cells with complex topology. Our experiments confirmed the generality, reproducibility and improved accuracy of our approach compared to competing methods.
