TRACE: Topology-Aware Reconnection via Prediction-Adaptive Connectivity Enforcement for Thin-Structure Segmentation
arXiv:2610.22210v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Thin, elongated structures are particularly sensitive to connectivity errors, as even a few local segmentation mistakes can disrupt otherwise continuous paths. Existing skeleton-based objectives typically supervise fixed centerline locations and do not account for alternative local routes that may restore connectivity. We propose TRACE, a topology-aware, prediction-adaptive objective that uses a target skeleton to define required local connectio…
