Abstract: Background: Image analysis applications in digital pathology include various methods for segmenting regions of interest. Their identification is one of the most complex steps, and therefore of great interest for the study of robust methods that do not necessarily rely on a machine learning (ML) approach. Method: A fully automatic and optimized segmentation process for different datasets is a prerequisite for classifying and diagnosing Indirect ImmunoFluorescence (IIF) raw data. This study describes a deterministic computational neuroscience approach for identifying cells and nuclei. It is far from the conventional neural network approach, but it is equivalent to their quantitative and qualitative performance, and it is also solid to adversative noise. The method is robust, based on formally correct functions, and does not suffer from tuning on specific data sets. Results: This work demonstrates the robustness of the method against the variability of parameters, such as image size, mode, and signal-to-noise ratio. We validated the method on two datasets (Neuroblastoma and NucleusSegData) using images annotated by independent medical doctors. Conclusions: The definition of deterministic and formally correct methods, from a functional to a structural point of view, guarantees the achievement of optimized and functionally correct results. The excellent performance of our deterministic method (NeuronalAlg) to segment cells and nuclei from fluorescence images was measured with quantitative indicators and compared with those achieved by three published ML approaches.

Self-Supervised Neuron Segmentation with Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning [53.00683059396803]
Mask image model (MIM) has been widely used due to its simplicity and effectiveness in recovering original information from masked images. We propose a decision-based MIM that utilizes reinforcement learning (RL) to automatically search for optimal image masking ratio and masking strategy. Our approach has a significant advantage over alternative self-supervised methods on the task of neuron segmentation.

PCA: Semi-supervised Segmentation with Patch Confidence Adversarial Training [52.895952593202054]
We propose a new semi-supervised adversarial method called Patch Confidence Adrial Training (PCA) for medical image segmentation. PCA learns the pixel structure and context information in each patch to get enough gradient feedback, which aids the discriminator in convergent to an optimal state. Our method outperforms the state-of-the-art semi-supervised methods, which demonstrates its effectiveness for medical image segmentation.
