• Abstract: Existing deep learning-based approaches for histopathology image analysis require large annotated training sets to achieve good performance; but annotating histopathology images is slow and resource-intensive. Conditional generative adversarial networks have been applied to generate synthetic histopathology images to alleviate this issue, but current approaches fail to generate clear contours for overlapped and touching nuclei. In this study, We propose a sharpness loss regularized generative adversarial network to synthesize realistic histopathology images. The proposed network uses normalized nucleus distance map rather than the binary mask to encode nuclei contour information. The proposed sharpness loss enhances the contrast of nuclei contour pixels. The proposed method is evaluated using four image quality metrics and segmentation results on two public datasets. Both quantitative and qualitative results demonstrate that the proposed approach can generate realistic histopathology images with clear nuclei contours.

  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.
