• Abstract: Deep learning has shown excellent performance in analysing medical images. However, datasets are difficult to obtain due privacy issues, standardization problems, and lack of annotations. We address these problems by producing realistic synthetic images using a combination of 3D technologies and generative adversarial networks. We propose CUT-seg, a joint training where a segmentation model and a generative model are jointly trained to produce realistic images while learning to segment polyps. We take advantage of recent one-sided translation models because they use significantly less memory, allowing us to add a segmentation model in the training loop. CUT-seg performs better, is computationally less expensive, and requires less real images than other memory-intensive image translation approaches that require two stage training. Promising results are achieved on five real polyp segmentation datasets using only one real image and zero real annotations. As a part of this study we release Synth-Colon, an entirely synthetic dataset that includes 20000 realistic colon images and additional details about depth and 3D geometry: https://enric1994.github.io/synth-colon

  We introduce the first diffusion-based augmentation method for nuclei segmentation. The idea is to synthesize a large number of labeled images to facilitate training the segmentation model. The experimental results show that by augmenting 10% labeled real dataset with synthetic samples, one can achieve comparable segmentation results.

  We present a generic dataset generation model that can produce diverse synthetic images and perception annotations. Our method builds upon the pre-trained diffusion model and extends text-guided image synthesis to perception data generation. We show that the rich latent code of the diffusion model can be effectively decoded as accurate perception annotations using a decoder module.

• A Shared Representation for Photorealistic Driving Simulators [83.5985178314263]
  We propose to improve the quality of generated images by rethinking the discriminator architecture. The focus is on the class of problems where images are generated given semantic inputs, such as scene segmentation maps or human body poses. We aim to learn a shared latent representation that encodes enough information to jointly do semantic segmentation, content reconstruction, along with a coarse-to-fine grained adversarial reasoning.
