• Title: Retinal Image Segmentation with a Structure-Texture Demixing Network
• Authors: Shihao Zhang, Huazhu Fu, Yanwu Xu, Yanxia Liu, Mingkui Tan
• Abstract summary: The complex structure and texture information are mixed in a retinal image, and distinguishing the information is difficult. Existing methods handle texture and structure jointly, which may lead biased models toward recognizing textures and thus results in inferior segmentation performance. We propose a segmentation strategy that seeks to separate structure and texture components and significantly improve the performance.

• Abstract: Retinal image segmentation plays an important role in automatic disease diagnosis. This task is very challenging because the complex structure and texture information are mixed in a retinal image, and distinguishing the information is difficult. Existing methods handle texture and structure jointly, which may lead biased models toward recognizing textures and thus results in inferior segmentation performance. To address it, we propose a segmentation strategy that seeks to separate structure and texture components and significantly improve the performance. To this end, we design a structure-texture demixing network (STD-Net) that can process structures and textures differently and better. Extensive experiments on two retinal image segmentation tasks (i.e., blood vessel segmentation, optic disc and cup segmentation) demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

  In computer-assisted surgery, automatically recognizing anatomical organs is crucial for understanding the surgical scene. While machine learning models can identify such structures, their deployment is hindered by the need for labeled, diverse surgical datasets. We introduce a multi-stage approach using diffusion models to generate multi-class surgical datasets with annotations.
