                         for effective image segmentation. In this paper, we present a new 
                         interactive segmentation method based on the Image Foresting 
                         Transform (IFT). The method oversegments the input image, creates 
                         a graph based on these segments (superpixels), receives markers 
                         (labels) drawn by the user on some superpixels and organizes a 
                         competition to label every pixel in the image. Our method has 
                         several interesting properties: it is effective, efficient, 
                         capable of segmenting multiple objects in almost linear time on 
                         the number of superpixels, readily extendable through previously 
                         published techniques, and benefits from domain-specific feature 
                         extraction. We also present a comparison with another technique 
                         based on the IFT, which can be seen as its pixel-based 
                         counterpart. Another contribution of this paper is the description 
                         of automatic (robot) users. Given a ground truth image, these 
                         robots simulate interactive segmentation by trained and untrained 
                         users, reducing the costs and biases involved in comparing 
                         segmentation techniques.",
