- Base methods:
- [1] Kernel Boost
that learns discriminative convolutional filters based on the Gradient Boosting framework.
- [2] Optimally Oriented Flux (OOF), an unsupervised
method with manually designed filter that is widely used for delineating tubular structures.
- [3] IUWT , an unsupervised
method based on isotropic undecimated wavelet transform.
- [4] Eigen,
a multiscale Hessian-based method.
- [5] T2T, a supervised method based on pixel classification,
medial sub-tree generation, and global tree linking components.

Kernel Boost |
OOF |
IUWT |

76.29 & 78.77 |
69.97 & 72.86 |
64.13 & 72.20 |
| Ours-nCnM |
79.12 & 79.63 |
71.22 & 73.28 |
71.79 & 74.15 |
| Ours-MnC |
79.44 & 81.14 |
71.93 & 75.91 |
72.25 & 74.29 |
| Ours |
80.11 & 81.93 |
72.12 & 76.84 |
72.65 & 74.58 |
Here the modified F1 measure (%) is used. Ours-nCnM refers to the simplified variant of our approach without using completion fields
and matting, while Ours-MnC instead refers to without completion field but with matting. Ours is the full version of our approach.
