• Abstract: We present a novel approach that combines machine learning based interactive image segmentation using supervoxels with a clustering method for the automated identification of similarly colored images in large data sets which enables a guided reuse of classifiers. Our approach solves the problem of significant color variability prevalent and often unavoidable in biological and medical images which typically leads to deteriorated segmentation and quantification accuracy thereby greatly reducing the necessary training effort. This increase in efficiency facilitates the quantification of much larger numbers of images thereby enabling interactive image analysis for recent new technological advances in high-throughput imaging. The presented methods are applicable for almost any image type and represent a useful tool for image analysis tasks in general.

  Inpainting shadowed regions cast by superficial blood vessels in retinal optical coherence tomography ( OCT) images is critical for accurate and robust machine analysis and clinical diagnosis. Traditional sequence-based approaches such as propagating neighboring information to gradually fill in the missing regions are cost-effective. Deep learning-based methods such as encoder-decoder networks have shown promising results in natural image inpainting tasks. We propose a novel multi-scale shadow inpainting framework for OCT images by synergically applying sparse representation and deep learning.
