• Abstract: Fundus images are very useful in identifying various ophthalmic disorders. However, due to the presence of artifacts, the visibility of the retina is severely affected. This may result in misdiagnosis of the disorder which may lead to more complicated problems. Since deep learning is a powerful tool to extract patterns from data without much human intervention, they can be applied to image-to-image translation problems. An attempt has been made in this paper to automatically rectify such artifacts present in the images of the fundus. We use a CycleGAN based model which consists of residual blocks to reduce the artifacts in the images. Significant improvements are seen when compared to the existing techniques.

  Counterfactual reasoning is often used in clinical settings to explain decisions or weigh alternatives. Here, we demonstrate that using a diffusion model in combination with an adversarially robust classifier trained on retinal disease classification tasks enables the generation of highly realistic counterfactuals. In a user study, domain experts found the counterfactuals generated using our method significantly more realistic than counterfactuals generated from a previous method, and even indistinguishable from real images.

  We propose a new method to counteract blurring and contrast loss in microscopy images. We first synthetically degraded the quality of microscopy images even further by using an approximate forward model for deep tissue image degradations. We trained a neural network that learned the inverse of this degradation function from our generated pairs of raw and degraded images.

  Deep Learning (DL) models have achieved state-of-the-art performance in diagnosing multiple diseases using reconstructed images as input. DL models are sensitive to varying artifacts as it leads to changes in the input data distribution between the training and testing phases. We propose to use other normalization techniques, such as Group Normalization and Layer Normalization, to inject robustness into model performance against varying image artifacts.

  Image-to-image translation networks such as CycleGANs are capable of learning an artifact removal function from unpaired data. We identify a surjection problem with artifact removal, and propose a weakly-supervised extension to CycleGAN to address this. We assemble a pan-cancer dataset comprising artifact and clean tiles from the TCGA database.

Based on the visual priors, we propose to learn to preserve the identity of restored images on a periodic contextual distance. Our method significantly outperforms prior art in both the visual quality and face verification accuracy of restored results.

We use StyleGAN2 as the source of generative augmentations and investigate this setup on classification tasks involving facial attributes, cat faces, and cars.
