• Authors: Tim-Oliver Buchholz, Mangal Prakash, Alexander Krull, Florian Jug
• Abstract summary: We propose DenoiSeg, a new method that can be trained end-to-end on only a few annotated ground truth segmentations. We achieve this by extending Noise2Void, a self-supervised denoising scheme that can be trained on noisy images alone, to also predict dense 3-class segmentations.

• Abstract: Microscopy image analysis often requires the segmentation of objects, but training data for this task is typically scarce and hard to obtain. Here we propose DenoiSeg, a new method that can be trained end-to-end on only a few annotated ground truth segmentations. We achieve this by extending Noise2Void, a self-supervised denoising scheme that can be trained on noisy images alone, to also predict dense 3-class segmentations. The reason for the success of our method is that segmentation can profit from denoising, especially when performed jointly within the same network. The network becomes a denoising expert by seeing all available raw data, while co-learning to segment, even if only a few segmentation labels are available. This hypothesis is additionally fueled by our observation that the best segmentation results on high quality (very low noise) raw data are obtained when moderate amounts of synthetic noise are added. This renders the denoising-task non-trivial and unleashes the desired co-learning effect. We believe that DenoiSeg offers a viable way to circumvent the tremendous hunger for high quality training data and effectively enables few-shot learning of dense segmentations.

  An increasing privacy concern exists regarding training large-scale image segmentation models on unauthorized private data. We exploit the concept of unlearnable examples to make images unusable to model training by generating and adding unlearnable noise into the original images. We empirically verify the effectiveness of UnSeg across 6 mainstream image segmentation tasks, 10 widely used datasets, and 7 different network architectures.

  Traditional deep learning-based automatic segmentation requires extensive training data with ground-truth labels. We propose a novel method based on multi-atlas segmentation, that accurately segments multiple tissues without relying on labeled data for training. Our method employs a cascaded deep learning network for 3D image registration, which computes small, incremental deformations to the moving image to align it precisely with the fixed image.

  In this paper, we consider the instance segmentation task on a long-tailed dataset, which contains label noise. We propose a new dataset, which is a large vocabulary long-tailed dataset containing label noise for instance segmentation. The results indicate that the noise in the training dataset will hamper the model in learning rare categories and decrease the overall performance.

  We introduce the Deep Semantic Statistics Matching (D2SM) Denoising Network. It exploits semantic features of pretrained classification networks, then it implicitly matches the probabilistic distribution of clear images at the semantic feature space. By learning to preserve the semantic distribution of denoised images, we empirically find our method significantly improves the denoising capabilities of networks.

  We propose a boosting network to perform denoising and segmentation alternately. We observe that not only denoising helps combat the drop of segmentation accuracy due to noise, but also pixel-wise semantic information boosts the capability of denoising. Experimental results show that the denoised image quality is improved substantially and the segmentation accuracy is improved to close to that of clean images.
