Identifying retinal pigment epithelium cells in adaptive optics-optical coherence tomography images with partial annotations and superhuman accuracy.

Journal Article Biomedical optics express · December 2024 Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells are essential for normal retinal function. Morphological defects in these cells are associated with a number of retinal neurodegenerative diseases. Owing to the cellular resolution and depth-sectioning capabilities, i ... Full text Cite

BiconNet: An Edge-preserved Connectivity-based Approach for Salient Object Detection.

Journal Article Pattern recognition · January 2022 Salient object detection (SOD) is viewed as a pixel-wise saliency modeling task by traditional deep learning-based methods. A limitation of current SOD models is insufficient utilization of inter-pixel information, which usually results in imperfect segmen ... Full text Cite

Segmentation of Neurons from Fluorescence Calcium Recordings Beyond Real-time.

Journal Article Nature machine intelligence · July 2021 Fluorescent genetically encoded calcium indicators and two-photon microscopy help understand brain function by generating large-scale in vivo recordings in multiple animal models. Automatic, fast, and accurate active neuron segmentation is critical ... Full text Cite
