Geometry in active learning for binary and multi-class image segmentation

Pascal Fua, Raphael Sznitman, Ksenia Konyushkova

We propose an active learning approach to image segmentation that exploits geometric priors to speed up and streamline the annotation process. It can be applied for both background foreground and multi-class segmentation tasks in 2D images and 3D image vol ...

Personalized Anatomic Eye Model From T1-Weighted Volume Interpolated Gradient Echo Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Patients With Uveal Melanoma

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Raphael Sznitman, Alessia Pica

Purpose: We present a 3-dimensional patient-specific eye model from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for proton therapy treatment planning of uveal melanoma (UM). During MRI acquisition of UM patients, the point fixation can be difficult and, together with ...

Ocular Structures Segmentation from Multi-sequences MRI Using 3D Unet with Fully Connected CRFs

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Raphael Sznitman, Alessia Pica

The use of 3D Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has attracted growing attention for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment planning of intraocular ocular cancers. Precise segmentation of such tumors are highly important to characterize tumors, their progres ...

Simultaneous Recognition and Pose Estimation of Instruments in Minimally Invasive Surgery

Pascal Fua, Raphael Sznitman, Pablo Marquez Neila

Detection of surgical instruments plays a key role in ensuring patient safety in minimally invasive surgery. In this paper, we present a novel method for 2D vision-based recognition and pose estimation of surgical instruments that generalizes to different ...

Learning Active Learning from Data

Pascal Fua, Ksenia Konyushkova, Raphael Sznitman

In this paper, we suggest a novel data-driven approach to active learning (AL). The key idea is to train a regressor that predicts the expected error reduction for a candidate sample in a particular learning state. By formulating the query selection proced ...

Reconstructing Evolving Tree Structures in Time Lapse Sequences by Enforcing Time-Consistency

Pascal Fua, Engin Türetken, Raphael Sznitman, Jan Kybic, Agata Justyna Mosinska, Przemyslaw Rafal Glowacki, Miguel Amável Dos Santos Pinheiro, Daniel Lebrecht

We propose a novel approach to reconstructing curvilinear tree structures evolving over time, such as road networks in 2D aerial images or neural structures in 3D microscopy stacks acquired in vivo. To enforce temporal consistency, we simultaneously proces ...

Automatic Segmentation of the Eye in 3D Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A Novel Statistical Shape Model for Treatment Planning of Retinoblastoma

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Raphael Sznitman, Carlos Ciller, Alessia Pica

Purpose: Proper delineation of ocular anatomy in 3-dimensional (3D) imaging is a big challenge, particularly when developing treatment plans for ocular diseases. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is presently used in clinical practice for diagnosis confirma ...

Non-Rigid Graph Registration using Active Testing Search

Pascal Fua, Raphael Sznitman, Jan Kybic, Miguel Amável Dos Santos Pinheiro

We present a new approach for matching sets of branching curvilinear structures that form graphs embedded in R2 or R3 and may be subject to deformations. Unlike earlier methods, ours does not rely on local appearance similarity nor does require a good init ...

Introducing Geometry in Active Learning for Image Segmentation

Pascal Fua, Raphael Sznitman, Ksenia Konyushkova

We propose an Active Learning approach to training a segmentation classifier that exploits geometric priors to streamline the annotation process in 3D image volumes. To this end, we use these priors not only to select voxels most in need of annotation but ...
