SWA Segmentation by Weighted Aggregation (SWA) is a powerful technique that leverages image segmentation using graph couplings based on intensity similarity. By minimizing cut coupling and coarsening the minimization problem, SWA efficiently detects salient segments in images, offering faster results than traditional methods. This approach utilizes weighted aggregation, hierarchical graph structures, and specialized lesion detection to produce accurate segmentation results for various applications. With features like average intensities and multiscale measurements, SWA delivers precise image analysis for tasks like identifying lesions in medical imaging.
