Computer vision tasks are often expected to be executed on compressed images. Classical image compression standards like JPEG 2000 are widely used. However, they do not account for the specific end-task at hand. Motivated by works on recurrent neural network (RNN)-based image compression and three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction, we propose unified network architectures to solve both tasks jointly. These joint models provide image compression tailored for the specific task of 3D reconstruction. Images compressed by our proposed models, yield 3D reconstruction performance superior as compared to using JPEG 2000 compression. Our models significantly extend the range of compression rates for which 3D reconstruction is possible. We also show that this can be done highly efficiently at almost no additional cost to obtain compression on top of the computation already required for performing the 3D reconstruction task.

We explore an ensembled $Sigma$-net for fast parallel MR imaging, including parallel coil networks, which perform implicit coil weighting, and sensitivity networks, involving explicit sensitivity maps. The networks in $Sigma$-net are trained in a supervised way, including content and GAN losses, and with various ways of data consistency, i.e., proximal mappings, gradient descent and variable splitting. A semi-supervised finetuning scheme allows us to adapt to the k-space data at test time, which, however, decreases the quantitative metrics, although generating the visually most textured and sharp images. For this challenge, we focused on robust and high SSIM scores, which we achieved by ensembling all models to a $Sigma$-net.
End-to-end optimization capability offers neural image compression (NIC) superior lossy compression performance. However, distinct models are required to be trained to reach different points in the rate-distortion (R-D) space. In this paper, we consider the problem of R-D characteristic analysis and modeling for NIC. We make efforts to formulate the essential mathematical functions to describe the R-D behavior of NIC using deep network and statistical modeling. Thus continuous bit-rate points could be elegantly realized by leveraging such model via a single trained network. In this regard, we propose a plugin-in module to learn the relationship between the target bit-rate and the binary representation for the latent variable of auto-encoder. Furthermore, we model the rate and distortion characteristic of NIC as a function of the coding parameter $lambda$ respectively. Our experiments show our proposed method is easy to adopt and obtains competitive coding performance with fixed-rate coding approaches, which would benefit the practical deployment of NIC. In addition, the proposed model could be applied to NIC rate control with limited bit-rate error using a single network.
Many real-world signal sources are complex-valued, having real and imaginary components. However, the vast majority of existing deep learning platforms and network architectures do not support the use of complex-valued data. MRI data is inherently complex-valued, so existing approaches discard the richer algebraic structure of the complex data. In this work, we investigate end-to-end complex-valued convolutional neural networks - specifically, for image reconstruction in lieu of two-channel real-valued networks. We apply this to magnetic resonance imaging reconstruction for the purpose of accelerating scan times and determine the performance of various promising complex-valued activation functions. We find that complex-valued CNNs with complex-valued convolutions provide superior reconstructions compared to real-valued convolutions with the same number of trainable parameters, over a variety of network architectures and datasets.
Recently, deep learning approaches have become the main research frontier for biological image reconstruction problems thanks to their high performance, along with their ultra-fast reconstruction times. However, due to the difficulty of obtaining matched reference data for supervised learning, there has been increasing interest in unsupervised learning approaches that do not need paired reference data. In particular, self-supervised learning and generative models have been successfully used for various biological imaging applications. In this paper, we overview these approaches from a coherent perspective in the context of classical inverse problems, and discuss their applications to biological imaging.
Digital holography is one of the most widely used label-free microscopy techniques in biomedical imaging. Recovery of the missing phase information of a hologram is an important step in holographic image reconstruction. Here we demonstrate a convolutional recurrent neural network (RNN) based phase recovery approach that uses multiple holograms, captured at different sample-to-sensor distances to rapidly reconstruct the phase and amplitude information of a sample, while also performing autofocusing through the same network. We demonstrated the success of this deep learning-enabled holography method by imaging microscopic features of human tissue samples and Papanicolaou (Pap) smears. These results constitute the first demonstration of the use of recurrent neural networks for holographic imaging and phase recovery, and compared with existing methods, the presented approach improves the reconstructed image quality, while also increasing the depth-of-field and inference speed.
