An image processing system and related method. The system comprises an input interface (IN) configured for receiving an n[≥2]-dimensional input image with a set of anchor points defined in same, said set of anchor points forming an input constellation. A constellation modifier (CM) is configured to modify said input constellation into a modified constellation. A constellation evaluator (CE) configured to evaluate said input constellation based on said hyper-surface to produce a score. A comparator (COMP) is configured to compare said score against a quality criterion. Through an output interface (OUT) said constellation is output if the score meets said criterion. The constellation suitable to define a segmentation for said input image.
