This Caffe branch contains the implementation of the topology aware loss function
proposed in [1] for learning toplogically-plausible segmentations using fully convolutional networks (FCN).
The proposed loss encodes smoothness of, and topological constraints between, segmented regions of
spatially-recurring, multi-part objects (e.g. several glands, each with
lumen and epithelium) into the learning of FCNs.
