초록

본 논문은 명시야 (bright-field) 현미경 영상를 위한 데이터 기반 세포 분할 알고리즘을 제시한다. 제시된 알고리즘은 일반적인 사전 학습 기법과 다르게 동시에 두 개의 사전과 관련된 희소 코드 (sparse code)를 통해 정의된 에너지 함수의 최소화를진행하게 된다. 두 개의 사전 중 하나는 명시야 영상에 대해 학습된 사전이고 다른 하나는 사람에 의해 수작업으로 세포 분할된 영상에 대해 학습된 것이다. 학습된 두 개의 사전을 세포 분할 될 새로운 입력 영상에 대해 적용하여 이와 관련된 희소코드를 획득한 후 픽셀 단위의 분할을 진행하게 된다. 효과적인 에너지 최소화를 위해 합성곱 희소 코드 (Convolutional Sparse Coding)와 Alternating Direction of Multiplier Method(ADMM)이 사용되었고 GPU를 사용하여 빠른 분산 연산이 가능하다. 본연구는 이전에 사용된 가변형 모델 (deformable model)을 이용한 세포 분할 방식과는 다르게 제시된 알고리즘은 세포 분할을위해 사전 지식이 필요없이 데이터 기반의 학습을 통해서 쉽고 효율적으로 세포 분할을 진행할 수 있다.

Abstract

Cell segmentation is an important but time-consuming and laborious task in biological image analysis. An automated, robust, and fast method is required to overcome such burdensome processes. These needs are, however, challenging due to various cell shapes, intensity, and incomplete boundaries. A precise cell segmentation will allow to making a pathological diagnosis of tissue samples. A vast body of literature exists on cell segmentation in microscopy images [1]. The majority of existing work is based on input images and predefined feature models only – for example, using a deformable model to extract edge boundaries in the image. Only a handful of recent methods employ data-driven approaches, such as supervised learning. In this paper, we propose a novel data-driven cell segmentation algorithm for bright-field microscopy images. The proposed method minimizes an energy formula defined by two dictionaries – one is for input images and the other is for their manual segmentation results – and a common sparse code, which aims to find the pixel-level classification by deploying the learned dictionaries on new images. In contrast to deformable models, we do not need to know a prior knowledge of objects. We also employed convolutional sparse coding and Alternating Direction of Multiplier Method (ADMM) for fast dictionary learning and energy minimization. Unlike an existing method [1], our method trains both dictionaries concurrently, and is implemented using the GPU device for faster performance.
