• Abstract: Analyzing gigapixel images is recognized as computationally demanding. In this paper, we introduce PyramidAI, a technique for analyzing gigapixel images with reduced computational cost. The proposed approach adopts a gradual analysis of the image, beginning with lower resolutions and progressively concentrating on regions of interest for detailed examination at higher resolutions. We investigated two strategies for tuning the accuracy-computation performance trade-off when implementing the adaptive resolution selection, validated against the Camelyon16 dataset of biomedical images. Our results demonstrate that PyramidAI substantially decreases the amount of processed data required for analysis by up to 2.65x, while preserving the accuracy in identifying relevant sections on a single computer. To ensure democratization of gigapixel image analysis, we evaluated the potential to use mainstream computers to perform the computation by exploiting the parallelism potential of the approach. Using a simulator, we estimated the best data distribution and load balancing algorithm according to the number of workers. The selected algorithms were implemented and highlighted the same conclusions in a real-world setting. Analysis time is reduced from more than an hour to a few minutes using 12 modest workers, offering a practical solution for efficient large-scale image analysis.

• A Novel Algorithm for Exact Concave Hull Extraction [0.0]
  Region extraction is necessary in a wide range of applications, from object detection in autonomous driving to analysis of subcellular morphology in cell biology. There exist two main approaches: convex hull extraction, for which exact and efficient algorithms exist and concave hulls, which are better at capturing real-world shapes but do not have a single solution. In this study, we present a novel algorithm that can provide concave hulls with maximal (i.e. pixel-perfect) resolution and is tunable for speed-efficiency tradeoffs.

Results show that the run-time parameters that do not depend on the input's size are reasonable and that the error on the computed model is small, allowing for competitive classification performances.

• Real-Time Resource Allocation for Tracking Systems [54.802447204921634]
  We propose a new algorithm called emphPartiMax that greatly reduces this cost by applying the person detector only to the relevant parts of the image. PartiMax exploits information in the particle filter to select $k$ of the $n$ candidate emphpixel boxes in the image. We show that our system runs in real-time by processing only 10% of the pixel boxes in the image while still retaining 80% of the original tracking performance achieved when processing all pixel boxes.
