In this work, we present a method to extract the skeleton of a self-occluded tree canopy by estimating the unobserved structures of the tree. A tree skeleton compactly describes the topological structure and contains useful information such…

Due to the current lack of large-scale datasets at the million-scale level, tasks involving panoramic images predominantly rely on existing two-dimensional pre-trained image benchmark models as backbone networks. However, these networks are…

The paper presents Multi-layer Auto Resonance Networks (ARN), a new neural model, for image recognition. Neurons in ARN, called Nodes, latch on to an incoming pattern and resonate when the input is within its 'coverage.' Resonance allows…

Although self-supervised learning enables us to bootstrap the training by exploiting unlabeled data, the generic self-supervised methods for natural images do not sufficiently incorporate the context. For medical images, a desirable method…

Neuron reconstruction, one of the fundamental tasks in neuroscience, rebuilds neuronal morphology from 3D light microscope imaging data. It plays a critical role in analyzing the structure-function relationship of neurons in the nervous…

In this paper, we propose a learning-based image fragment pair-searching and -matching approach to solve the challenging restoration problem. Existing works use rule-based methods to match similar contour shapes or textures, which are…

Identifying cerebral cortex layers is crucial for comparative studies of the cytoarchitecture aiming at providing insights into the relations between brain structure and function across species. The absence of extensive annotated datasets…

Automated medical image segmentation is an essential task to aid/speed up diagnosis and treatment procedures in clinical practices. Deep convolutional neural networks have exhibited promising performance in accurate and automatic seminal…

Selfridge, along with Sutherland and Marr provided some of the earliest proposals for how to program computers to recognize shapes. Their emphasis on filtering for contour features, especially the orientation of boundary segments, was…

CT scanners that are commonly-used in hospitals nowadays produce low-resolution images, up to 512 pixels in size. One pixel in the image corresponds to a one millimeter piece of tissue. In order to accurately segment tumors and make…

Medical images used in clinical practice are heterogeneous and not the same quality as scans studied in academic research. Preprocessing breaks down in extreme cases when anatomy, artifacts, or imaging parameters are unusual or protocols…
