  text: 'We introduce TopoCut: a new way to integrate knowledge about topological
    properties (TPs) into random field image segmentation model. Instead of including
    TPs as additional constraints during minimization of the energy function, we devise
    an efficient algorithm for modifying the unary potentials such that the resulting
    segmentation is guaranteed with the desired properties. Our method is more flexible
    in the sense that it handles more topology constraints than previous methods,
    which were only able to enforce pairwise or global connectivity. In particular,
    our method is very fast, making it for the first time possible to enforce global
    topological properties in practical image segmentation tasks.'
