• Abstract: Skin lesion segmentation can be rather a challenging task owing to the presence of artifacts, low contrast between lesion and boundary, color variegation, fuzzy skin lesion borders and heterogeneous background in dermoscopy images. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective saliency-based approach derived in the frequency and spatial domain to detect pigmented skin lesion. Two color models are utilized for the construction of these maps. We suggest a different metric for each color model to design map in the spatial domain via color features. The map in the frequency domain is generated from aggregated images. We adopt a separate fusion scheme to combine salient features in their respective domains. Finally, two-phase saliency integration scheme is devised to combine these maps using pixelwise multiplication. Performance of the proposed method is assessed on PH2 and ISIC 2016 datasets. The outcome of the experiments suggests that the proposed scheme generate better segmentation result as compared to state-of-the-art methods.

  We propose a novel virtual staining framework AGMDT to translate images into other domains by avoiding pixel-level alignment. Based on it, the proposed framework AGMDT discovers patch-level aligned pairs across the serial slices of multi-domains through glomerulus detection and bipartite graph matching. Experimental results show that the proposed AGMDT achieves a good balance between the precise pixel-level alignment and unpaired domain transfer.

  We argue that domain gaps can also be caused by different foreground (nucleus)-background ratios. First, we introduce a re-coloring method that relieves dramatic image color variations between different domains. Second, we propose a new instance normalization method that is robust to the variation in the foreground-background ratios.
