The annotation of patient organs is a crucial part of various diagnostic and treatment procedures, such as radiotherapy planning. Manual annotation is extremely time-consuming, while its automation using modern image analysis techniques has…

The image annotation stage is a critical and often the most time-consuming part required for training and evaluating object detection and semantic segmentation models. Deployment of the existing models in novel environments often requires…

Deployment of deep learning models in robotics as sensory information extractors can be a daunting task to handle, even using generic GPU cards. Here, we address three of its most prominent hurdles, namely, i) the adaptation of a single…

Existing promptable segmentation methods in the medical imaging field primarily consider either textual or visual prompts to segment relevant objects, yet they often fall short when addressing anomalies in medical images, like tumors, which…

Segmentation maps of medical images annotated by medical experts contain rich spatial information. In this paper, we propose to decompose annotation maps to learn disentangled and richer feature transforms for segmentation problems in…

The field of computer vision applied to videos of minimally invasive surgery is ever-growing. Workflow recognition pertains to the automated recognition of various aspects of a surgery: including which surgical steps are performed; and…

Medical image segmentation is a critical component in clinical practice, facilitating accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and disease monitoring. However, existing methods, often tailored to specific modalities or disease types, lack…

Interactive segmentation is a crucial research area in medical image analysis aiming to boost the efficiency of costly annotations by incorporating human feedback. This feedback takes the form of clicks, scribbles, or masks and allows for…

Assigning meaning to parts of image data is the goal of semantic image segmentation. Machine learning methods, specifically supervised learning is commonly used in a variety of tasks formulated as semantic segmentation. One of the major…

Surgical tool detection is essential for analyzing and evaluating minimally invasive surgery videos. Current approaches are mostly based on supervised methods that require large, fully instance-level labels (i.e., bounding boxes). However,…

Using deep learning, we now have the ability to create exceptionally good semantic segmentation systems; however, collecting the prerequisite pixel-wise annotations for training images remains expensive and time-consuming. Therefore, it…

In this paper, we aim to improve the performance of semantic image segmentation in a semi-supervised setting in which training is effectuated with a reduced set of annotated images and additional non-annotated images. We present a method…

This paper introduces the ``SurgT: Surgical Tracking" challenge which was organised in conjunction with MICCAI 2022. There were two purposes for the creation of this challenge: (1) the establishment of the first standardised benchmark for…

Medical imaging segmentation is essential in clinical settings for diagnosing diseases, planning surgeries, and other procedures. However, manual annotation is a cumbersome and effortful task. To mitigate these aspects, this study…

Machine learning has been widely adopted for medical image analysis in recent years given its promising performance in image segmentation and classification tasks. The success of machine learning, in particular supervised learning, depends…

This manuscript presents an image segmentation algorithm developed for the Cross-Organ and Cross-Scanner Adenocarcinoma Segmentation (COSAS 2024) challenge. We adopted an organ-stratified and scanner-stratified approach to train multiple…

Existing works on semantic segmentation typically consider a small number of labels, ranging from tens to a few hundreds. With a large number of labels, training and evaluation of such task become extremely challenging due to correlation…

Background: The segment-anything model (SAM), introduced in April 2023, shows promise as a benchmark model and a universal solution to segment various natural images. It comes without previously-required re-training or fine-tuning specific…

Segmentation is essential for medical image analysis tasks such as intervention planning, therapy guidance, diagnosis, treatment decisions. Deep learning is becoming increasingly prominent for segmentation, where the lack of annotations,…

Purpose: Machine learning models can only be reliably evaluated if training, validation, and test data splits are representative and not affected by the absence of classes of interest. Surgical workflow and instrument recognition tasks are…
