Short axis cardiac MRI segmentation is a well-researched topic, with excellent results achieved by state-of-the-art models in a supervised setting. However, annotating MRI volumes is time-consuming and expensive. Many different approaches…
Measuring inter-annotator agreement is important for annotation tasks, but many metrics require a fully-annotated set of data, where all annotators annotate all samples. We define Sparse Probability of Agreement, SPA, which estimates the…
Crowd segmentation is a fundamental task serving as the basis of crowded scene analysis, and it is highly desirable to obtain refined pixel-level segmentation maps. However, it remains a challenging problem, as existing approaches either…
Scribble-based weakly supervised semantic segmentation leverages only a few annotated pixels as labels to train a segmentation model, presenting significant potential for reducing the human labor involved in the annotation process. This…
Most crowd counting methods directly regress blockwise density maps using Mean Squared Error (MSE) losses. This practice has two key limitations: (1) it fails to account for the extreme spatial sparsity of annotations - over 95% of 8x8…
