1. A method implemented by one or more processors, the method comprising:
estimating features of a plurality of vascular segments depicted in at least one vascular image, wherein individual vascular segments comprise a plurality of portions that extend between two end points depicted in the vascular image;
estimating individual cost assignments for individual vascular segments, the cost assignments being indicative of a preferred path of vascular flow which is associated with a lower cost;
estimating a vascular path from at least a subset of the vascular segments based at least in part on the cost assignments;
causing an interactive user interface to be presented, wherein the interactive user interface is configured to:
display a graphical depiction of the vascular path, and
be responsive to user input to address an erroneous definition of a first vascular segment included in the subset of vascular segments, wherein the erroneous definition is associated with a criterion of direction, and wherein the user input updates a determined directional path of blood flow between two end points of the first vascular segment; and
updating, based on the user input, the cost assignments for the first vascular segment and a second vascular segment included in the subset of vascular segments, the second vascular segment stemming from a common vascular junction as the first vascular segment.
