On the Relevance of Sparsity for Image Classification

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Engin Türetken, Germán González Serrano, Roberto Rigamonti, Matthew Brown, Fethallah Benmansour

In this paper we empirically analyze the importance of sparsifying representations for classification purposes. We focus on those obtained by convolving images with linear filters, which can be either hand designed or learned, and perform extensive experim ...

Automated Reconstruction of Dendritic and Axonal Trees by Global Optimization with Geometric Priors

Pascal Fua, Engin Türetken, Germán González Serrano

We present a novel probabilistic approach to fully automated delineation of tree structures in noisy 2D images and 3D image stacks. Unlike earlier methods that rely mostly on local evidence, ours builds a set of candidate trees over many different subsets ...

Automated Detection and Delineation of Tree Structures in Noisy Micrographs

Germán González Serrano

Despite more than a century of research, we still lack a concise description of the different types of neurons in the brain. This is a result of their large variance in morphology and the time consuming reconstruction process. In this thesis we design nove ...

Delineating Trees in Noisy 2D Images and 3D Image Stacks

Pascal Fua, François Fleuret, Engin Türetken, Germán González Serrano

We present a novel approach to fully automated delineation of tree structures in noisy 2D images and 3D image stacks. Unlike earlier methods that rely mostly on local evidence, our method builds a set of candidate trees over many different subsets of point ...

Reconstructing Geometrically Consistent Tree Structures from Noisy Images

Pascal Fua, Engin Türetken, Germán González Serrano

We present a novel approach to fully automated reconstruction of tree structures in noisy 2D images. Unlike in earlier approaches, we explicitly handle crossovers and bifurcation points, and impose geometric constraints while optimizing a global cost funct ...

Automated Delineation of Dendritic Networks in Noisy Image Stacks

Pascal Fua, François Fleuret, Germán González Serrano

We present a novel approach to 3D delineation of dendritic networks in noisy image stacks. We achieve a level of automation beyond that of state-of-the-art systems, which model dendrites as continuous tubular structures and postulate simple appearance mode ...
