Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of a deep learning-based automated segmentation of the left ventricle (LV) myocardium using cardiac CT. Materials and Methods: To develop a fully automated algorithm, 100 subjects with coronary artery disease were randomly selected as a development set (50 training / 20 validation / 30 internal test). An experienced cardiac radiologist generated the manual segmentation of the development set. The trained model was evaluated using 1000 validation set generated by an experienced technician. Visual assessment was performed to compare the manual and automatic segmentations. In a quantitative analysis, sensitivity and specificity were calculated according to the number of pixels where two three-dimensional masks of the manual and deep learning segmentations overlapped. Similarity indices, such as the Dice similarity coefficient (DSC), were used to evaluate the margin of each segmented masks. Results: The sensitivity and specificity of automated segmentation for each segment (1-16 segments) were high (85.5-100.0%). The DSC was 88.3 ± 6.2%. Among randomly selected 100 cases, all manual segmentation and deep learning masks for visual analysis were classified as very accurate to mostly accurate and there were no inaccurate cases (manual vs. deep learning: very accurate, 31 vs. 53; accurate, 64 vs. 39; mostly accurate, 15 vs. 8). The number of very accurate cases for deep learning masks was greater than that for manually segmented masks. Conclusion: We present deep learning-based automatic segmentation of the LV myocardium and the results are comparable to manual segmentation data with high sensitivity, specificity, and high similarity scores.

In this study, various types of deep learning models that have been proposed recently are classified according to data input / output types and analyzed to find the deep learning model suitable for constructing a crack detection model. First the deep learning models are classified into image classification model, object segmentation model, object detection model, and instance segmentation model. ResNet-101, DeepLab V2, Faster R-CNN, and Mask R-CNN were selected as representative deep learning model of each type. For the comparison, ResNet-101 was implemented for all the types of deep learning model as a backbone network which serves as a main feature extractor. The four types of deep learning models were trained with 500 crack images taken from real concrete structures and collected from the Internet. The four types of deep learning models showed high accuracy above 94% during the training. Comparative evaluation was conducted using 40 images taken from real concrete structures. The performance of each type of deep learning model was measured using precision and recall. In the experimental result, Mask R-CNN, an instance segmentation deep learning model showed the highest precision and recall on crack detection. Qualitative analysis also shows that Mask R-CNN could detect crack shapes most similarly to the real crack shapes.

Image segmentation is the task of partitioning an image into multiple sets of pixels based on some characteristics. The objective is to simplify the image into a representation that is more meaningful and easier to analyze. In this paper, we apply deep-learning to pre-train the learning model, and implement an algorithm that performs image segmentation in real time by extracting frames for the stream input from the Android device. Based on the open source of DeepLab-v3+ implemented in Tensorflow, some convolution filters are modified to improve real-time operation on the Android platform.

A brain tumor forms when some tissue becomes old or damaged but does not die when it must, preventing new tissue from being born. Manually finding such masses in the brain by analyzing MRI images is challenging and time-consuming for experts. In this study, our main objective is to detect the brain's tumorous part, allowing rapid diagnosis to treat the primary disease instantly. With image processing techniques and deep learning prediction algorithms, our research makes a system capable of finding a tumor in MRI images of a brain automatically and accurately. Our tumor segmentation adopts the U-Net deep learning segmentation on the standard MICCAI BRATS 2018 dataset, which has MRI images with different modalities. The proposed approach was evaluated and achieved Dice Coefficients of 0.9795, 0.9855, 0.9793, and 0.9950 across several test datasets. These results show that the proposed system achieves excellent segmentation of tumors in MRIs using deep learning techniques such as the U-Net algorithm.

As part of the cell division method, we proposed a method for segmenting images generated by topography microscopes through deep learning-based feature generation and graph segmentation. Hybrid vector shapes preserve the overall shape and boundary information of cells, so most cell shapes can be captured without any post-processing burden. NIH-3T3 and Hela-S3 cells have satisfactory results in cell description preservation. Compared to other deep learning methods, the proposed cell image segmentation method does not require postprocessing. It is also effective in preserving the overall morphology of cells and has shown better results in terms of cell boundary preservation.

최근 딥러닝 기술의 발달과 함께 신경 네트워크는 컴퓨터 비전에서도 성공을 거두고 있다. 컨볼루션 신경망은 단순한 영상 분류 작업뿐만 아니라 객체 분할 및 검출 등 난이도가 높은 작업에서도 탁월한 성능을 보였다. 그러나 그러한 많은 심층 학습 모델은 지도학습에 기초하고 있으며, 이는 이미지 라벨보다 주석 라벨이 더 많이 필요하다. 특히 semantic segmentation 모델은 훈련을 위해 픽셀 수준의 주석을 필요로 하는데, 이는 매우 중요하다. 이 논문은 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 네트워크 훈련을 위해 영상 수준 라벨만 필요한 약지도 semantic segmentation 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 약지도학습 방법은 대상의 특정 영역만 탐지하는 데 한계가 있다. 반면에, 본 논문에서는 우리의 모델이 사물의 더 다른 부분을 인식하도 multi-classifier 심층 학습 아키텍처를 사용한다. 제안된 방법은 VOC 2012 검증 데이터 세트를 사용하여 평가한다.

Iris segmentation is an initial step for identifying the biometrics of animals when establishing a traceability system for livestock. In this study, we propose a deep learning framework for pixel-wise segmentation of bovine iris with a minimized use of annotation labels utilizing the BovineAAEyes80 public dataset. The proposed image segmentation framework encompasses data collection, data preparation, data augmentation selection, training of 15 deep neural network (DNN) models with varying encoder backbones and segmentation decoder DNNs, and evaluation of the models using multiple metrics and graphical segmentation results. This framework aims to provide comprehensive and in-depth information on each model's training and testing outcomes to optimize bovine iris segmentation performance. In the experiment, U-Net with a VGG16 backbone was identified as the optimal combination of encoder and decoder models for the dataset, achieving an accuracy and dice coefficient score of 99.50% and 98.35%, respectively. Notably, the selected model accurately segmented even corrupted images without proper annotation data. This study contributes to the advancement of iris segmentation and the establishment of a reliable DNN training framework.

본 논문에서는 U-Net 기반의 semantic segmentation 방법에서 정확도를 향상시키기 위해 residual learning을 활용한 인코더-디코더 구조의 모델을 제안하였다. U-Net은 딥러닝 기반의 semantic segmentation 방법이며 자율주행 자동차, 의료 영상 분석과 같은 응용 분야에서 주로 사용된다. 기존 U-Net은 인코더의 얕은 구조로 인해 특징 압축 과정에서 손실이 발생한다. 특징 손실은 객체의 클래스 분류에 필요한 context 정보 부족을 초래하고 segmentation 정확도를 감소시키는 문제가 있다. 이를 개선하기 위해 제안하는 방법은 기존 U-Net에 특징 손실과 기울기 소실 문제를 방지하는데 효과적인 residual learning을 활용한 인코더를 통해 context 정보를 효율적으로 추출하였다. 또한, 인코더에서 down-sampling 연산을 줄여 특징맵에 포함된 공간 정보의 손실을 개선하였다. 제안하는 방법은 Cityscapes 데이터셋 실험에서 기존 U-Net 방법에 비해 segmentation 결과가 약 12% 향상되었다.
