First, a rough foreground estimation is performed by thresholding a cleaned channel using the Su et al. [1] binarization. In order to compute a cleaned channel, the background channel F8 (1100nm) is removed from a visible channel F2 (500 nm). This rough foreground estimation is used in a second step to train an Adaptive Coherence Estimator (ACE) proposed by Scharf and Whorter [2]. The ACE detects a spectral subspace which enhances ink while the contrast of other elements (e.g. stains) is reduced. Finally we combine the cleaned channel with the mean and standard deviation images and perform a GrabCut [3]. The GrabCut is guided by a mask which is based on the results of the ACE.
