• Abstract: This study investigates weakly supervised image segmentation using loose bounding box supervision. It presents a multiple instance learning strategy based on polar transformation to assist image segmentation when loose bounding boxes are employed as supervision. In this strategy, weighted smooth maximum approximation is introduced to incorporate the observation that pixels closer to the origin of the polar transformation are more likely to belong to the object in the bounding box. The proposed approach was evaluated on a public medical dataset using Dice coefficient. The results demonstrate its superior performance. The codes are available at \url{https://github.com/wangjuan313/wsis-polartransform}.

• Learning to Rank Patches for Unbiased Image Redundancy Reduction [80.93989115541966]
  Images suffer from heavy spatial redundancy because pixels in neighboring regions are spatially correlated. Existing approaches strive to overcome this limitation by reducing less meaningful image regions. We propose a self-supervised framework for image redundancy reduction called Learning to Rank Patches.

  For object detection, it is possible to view the prediction of bounding boxes as a reverse diffusion process. Using a diffusion model, the random bounding boxes are iteratively refined in a denoising step, conditioned on the image. We propose a accumulator function that starts each run with random bounding boxes and combines the slightly different predictions.

  We propose UDIS++, a parallax-tolerant unsupervised deep image stitching technique. First, we propose a robust and flexible warp to model the image registration from global homography to local thin-plate spline motion. To further eliminate the parallax artifacts, we propose to composite the stitched image seamlessly by unsupervised learning for seam-driven composition masks.
