Cell instance segmentation in Pap smear image remains challenging due to the wide existence of occlusion among translucent cytoplasm in cell clumps. Conventional methods heavily rely on accurate nuclei detection results and are easily disturbed by miscellaneous objects. In this paper, we propose a novel Instance Relation Network (IRNet) for robust overlapping cell segmentation by exploring instance relation interaction. Specifically, we propose the Instance Relation Module to construct the cell association matrix for transferring information among individual cell-instance features. With the collaboration of different instances, the augmented features gain benefits from contextual information and improve semantic consistency. Meanwhile, we proposed a sparsity constrained Duplicate Removal Module to eliminate the misalignment between classification and localization accuracy for candidates selection. The largest cervical Pap smear (CPS) dataset with more than 8000 cell annotations in Pap smear image was constructed for comprehensive evaluation. Our method outperforms other methods by a large margin, demonstrating the effectiveness of exploring instance relation.
Low level features like edges and textures play an important role in accurately localizing instances in neural networks. In this paper, we propose an architecture which improves feature pyramid networks commonly used instance segmentation networks by
Currently, instance segmentation is attracting more and more attention in machine learning region. However, there exists some defects on the information propagation in previous Mask R-CNN and other network models. In this paper, we propose supervised
Instance segmentation of overlapping objects in biomedical images remains a largely unsolved problem. We take up this challenge and present MultiStar, an extension to the popular instance segmentation method StarDist. The key novelty of our method is
Instance-level object segmentation is an important yet under-explored task. The few existing studies are almost all based on region proposal methods to extract candidate segments and then utilize object classification to produce final results. Noneth
Few-shot instance segmentation (FSIS) conjoins the few-shot learning paradigm with general instance segmentation, which provides a possible way of tackling instance segmentation in the lack of abundant labeled data for training. This paper presents a
