While different probabilistic segmentation models are designed to capture different aspects of segmentation uncertainty and ambiguity, these modelling differences are rarely discussed in the context of applications of uncertainty. We consider two common use cases of segmentation uncertainty, namely assessment of segmentation quality and active learning.
