• Abstract: Scattered Light Imaging (SLI) is a novel approach for microscopically revealing the fibre architecture of unstained brain sections. The measurements are obtained by illuminating brain sections from different angles and measuring the transmitted (scattered) light under normal incidence. The evaluation of scattering profiles commonly relies on a peak picking technique and feature extraction from the peaks, which allows quantitative determination of parallel and crossing in-plane nerve fibre directions for each image pixel. However, the estimation of the 3D orientation of the fibres cannot be assessed with the traditional methodology. We propose an unsupervised learning approach using spherical convolutions for estimating the 3D orientation of neural fibres, resulting in a more detailed interpretation of the fibre orientation distributions in the brain.

  We address the problem of verifying neural networks against geometric transformations of the input image, including rotation, scaling, shearing, and translation. The proposed method computes provably sound piecewise linear constraints for the pixel values by using sampling and linear approximations in combination with branch-and-bound Lipschitz. We show that our proposed implementation resolves up to 32% more verification cases than present approaches.

  3D-PLI is a microscopic imaging technique that enables insights into the fine-grained organization of myelinated nerve fibers with high resolution. Best practices for observer-independent characterization of fiber architecture in 3D-PLI are not yet available. We propose the application of a fully data-driven approach to characterize nerve fiber architecture in 3D-PLI images using self-supervised representation learning.
