Abstract	:	Within many computer vision applications, image segmentation techniques have been the focus for a lot of disciplines. Several automatic and semi-automatic algorithms for extracting objects from images have been developed. Semi-automatic methods of image segmentation have proven to be the most efficient and reliable, especially for medical applications. Intelligent Scissoring is a technique that uses the input from a user as a guidance for proper segmentation of images using automatic algorithms. However, this method has many issues and weaknesses. Therefore, researchers have been developing different variants of Intelligent Scissors which improve results and reduce the user interaction required. This review presents an overview of the latest methods and algorithms regarding semi-automatic segmentation, and even expanding onto 3D semi-automatic image segmentation.
