Deep learning is used in all areas of the image processing like object detection/localization, synthetic image generation, segmentation, tracking, and others. It is frequently used especially in medical image segmentation field since it provides rapid response during the treatment process. The fact that natural images contain different types of noise, patterns, and structures and the lack of distinctive quantitative information still makes the segmentation problem very challenging. The classical networks having high parameters have a long training time. The need of less training time for high parameter networks and high segmentation accuracy has led us to develop a new network. In this study, a state-of-the-art autoencoder network (MSRSegNet) is proposed to perform segmentation. Unlike conventional autoencoder approaches, it consists of encoder, fusion and decoder blocks. In encoder and decoder blocks, Multi-scale Residual Blocks are used to share information between blocks and to detect features on different scales. In fusion block, Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling (ASPP) module is used to preserve multi-scale contextual information. Information sharing between blocks has increased the ability of the proposed method to capture global features. The performance parameters of mean intersection over unit (mIOU) and pixel accuracy (PA) is used to compare the results. As a result, it was observed that the proposed segmentation network has high accuracy (69% mIoU) and fast segmentation performance (0.061sec. for an image with 256x256)

Histopatolojik Görüntü İçin Çok Ölçekli Artık Bölütleme Ağı

Öz

Derin öğrenme, nesne algılama/yer bulma, sentetik görüntü oluşturma, segmentasyon ve izleme gibi görüntü işlemeyle ilgili tüm alanlarda kullanılmaktadır. Özellikle tedavi sürecinde hızlı yanıt sağladığı için tıbbi görüntü segmentasyonu alanında sıkça kullanılmaktadır. Doğal histopatolojik görüntülerin farklı türde gürültüler, yapılar içermesi ve belirleyici niceliksel bilgilerin eksikliği, segmentasyon problemini çok zor hale getirmektedir. Yüksek parametreli klasik ağların uzun bir eğitim süresi vardır. Daha kısa bir eğitim süresi ve yüksek segmentasyon doğruluğu gereksinimi, bizi yeni bir hibrit ağ geliştirmeye yönlendirdi. Bu çalışma, histopatolojik görüntülerde segmentasyon gerçekleştirmek için bir oto-enkoder ağı (MSRSegNet) önermektedir. Geleneksel oto-enkoder yaklaşımlarından farklı olarak, kodlayıcı, füzyon ve kod çözme bloklarından oluşur. Kodlayıcı ve kod çözücü bloklarda, bloklar arasında bilgi paylaşmak ve farklı ölçeklerde özellikleri tespit etmek için çok ölçekli artık bloklar kullanılır. Füzyon bloğunda, çok ölçekli bağlamsal bilgileri korumak için Atrous Uzaysal Piramit Havuzlama (AUPH) modülü kullanılmaktadır. Bloklar arasındaki bilgi paylaşımı, önerilen yöntemin global özellikleri yakalama yeteneğini artırmıştır. Sonuçları karşılaştırmak için ortalama birlik üzerinden kesişim (mIoU) ve piksel doğruluğu (PA) performans parametreleri kullanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, önerilen segmentasyon ağının yüksek doğruluğa (%69 mIoU) ve hızlı segmentasyon performansına (256x256 boyutunda bir görüntü için 0.061 saniye) sahip olduğu gözlemlenmiştir.
