segmentation op• Data kinds: image → region
• Call: fullseye.apply(img, "xcv_grabcut", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])
*The figure is the actual output on a synthetic 128×128 input. Left: input, right: output. Point clouds are drawn as a top-down scatter (brightness = z), 1-D series as a line plot, volumes as the maximum-intensity projection along z, videos as the middle frame, complex images as magnitude; return values that are not pictures are shown as the values themselves.*
*Knob a does not change the output (measured: identical at 0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9).*
*Knob b does not change the output (measured: identical at 0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9).*
On other images (synthetic scene / photo / coins. Top row: inputs, bottom row: their outputs. Knobs at default):

*The 4th column is a colour (H,W,3) input. This op handles colour without crossing channels (it does not convolve the colour channel as a third spatial axis).*
Automatic foreground/background separation via GrabCut (iterative graph cut).
A fixed 70%×70% rectangle at the image centre is given as the initial "probably foreground" region, and foreground/background are separated iteratively using a GMM of the colour distribution and a graph cut (cv2.GC_INIT_WITH_RECT). The "definite foreground" and "probable foreground" pixels are combined and returned as the foreground region.
a sweeps the number of iterations in the range 2–5 (more iterations converge further but are slower). b is unused. Because the rectangle is fixed at the image centre, extraction tends to fail on images whose subject lies near the border.
Knobs (measured): sweeping a from 0 to 1 does not change the output (measured on five different inputs).
Blank frame (measured): feeding an image of uniform brightness gives an empty result — every pixel is background (0) — regardless of the brightness. Pure white and pure black behave alike; brightness by itself detects nothing.

• Sample-data catalog (download URLs / licences) — 2-D uses skimage.data (BSD/public domain) plus synthetic images; 3-D lists download URLs for real data sources (Stanford, PDS, …).
• Operator provenance and references — the sources of the research/methods this op family came from.
• The canonical algorithm (author, year) and its uses are named in the family usage guide above.
The program below has been verified to run (same input as the figure). In Studio's help this block becomes buttons that load and run it on the spot.
