Did you compare against SIOX as in the master branch or against the improved version that resulted from last year's GSoC ? It would also be interesting if you could benchmark your algorithm using the benchmark proposed in "GrabCut": interactive foreground extraction using iterated graph cuts" published in the Proceedings of the 2004 SIGGRAPH Conference. There's a Python script shipped with the GIMP source code that does this with the SIOX tool. In my opinion we should at this point concentrate on merging last year's work on the SIOX tool. If we start to add other segmentation methods before this work is merged, then it will become very difficult to ever get the soc-2009-siox-drb branch merged.
