Sea-land segmentation is an important process for many key applications in remote sensing. Proper operative sea-land segmentation for remote sensing images remains a challenging issue due to complex and diverse transition between sea and lands. Although several Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been developed for sea-land segmentation, the performance of these CNNs is far from the expected target. This paper presents a novel deep neural network structure for pixel-wise sea-land segmentation, a Residual Dense U-Net (RDU-Net), in complex and high-density remote sensing images. RDU-Net is a combination of both down-sampling and up-sampling paths to achieve satisfactory results. In each down- and up-sampling path, in addition to the convolution layers, several densely connected residual network blocks are proposed to systematically aggregate multi-scale contextual information. Each dense network block contains multilevel convolution layers, short-range connections and an identity mapping connection which facilitates features re-use in the network and makes full use of the hierarchical features from the original images. These proposed blocks have a certain number of connections that are designed with shorter distance backpropagation between the layers and can significantly improve segmentation results whilst minimizing computational costs. We have performed extensive experiments on two real datasets Google Earth and ISPRS and compare the proposed RDUNet against several variations of Dense Networks. The experimental results show that RDUNet outperforms the other state-of-the-art approaches on the sea-land segmentation tasks.

Semantic segmentation of remote sensing images plays an important role in a wide range of applications including land resource management, biosphere monitoring and urban planning. Although the accuracy of semantic segmentation in remote sensing image s has been increased significantly by deep convolutional neural networks, several limitations exist in standard models. First, for encoder-decoder architectures such as U-Net, the utilization of multi-scale features causes the underuse of information, where low-level features and high-level features are concatenated directly without any refinement. Second, long-range dependencies of feature maps are insufficiently explored, resulting in sub-optimal feature representations associated with each semantic class. Third, even though the dot-product attention mechanism has been introduced and utilized in semantic segmentation to model long-range dependencies, the large time and space demands of attention impede the actual usage of attention in application scenarios with large-scale input. This paper proposed a Multi-Attention-Network (MANet) to address these issues by extracting contextual dependencies through multiple efficient attention modules. A novel attention mechanism of kernel attention with linear complexity is proposed to alleviate the large computational demand in attention. Based on kernel attention and channel attention, we integrate local feature maps extracted by ResNeXt-101 with their corresponding global dependencies and reweight interdependent channel maps adaptively. Numerical experiments on three large-scale fine resolution remote sensing images captured by different satellite sensors demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed MANet, outperforming the DeepLab V3+, PSPNet, FastFCN, DANet, OCRNet, and other benchmark approaches.
The Medico: Multimedia Task 2020 focuses on developing an efficient and accurate computer-aided diagnosis system for automatic segmentation [3]. We participate in task 1, Polyps segmentation task, which is to develop algorithms for segmenting polyps on a comprehensive dataset. In this task, we propose methods combining Residual module, Inception module, Adaptive Convolutional neural network with U-Net model, and PraNet for semantic segmentation of various types of polyps in endoscopic images. We select 5 runs with different architecture and parameters in our methods. Our methods show potential results in accuracy and efficiency through multiple experiments, and our team is in the Top 3 best results with a Jaccard index of 0.765.
Automated vascular segmentation on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is important for the quantitative analyses of retinal microvasculature in neuroretinal and systemic diseases. Despite recent improvements, artifacts continue to pose c hallenges in segmentation. Our study focused on removing the speckle noise artifact from OCTA images when performing segmentation. Speckle noise is common in OCTA and is particularly prominent over large non-perfusion areas. It may interfere with the proper assessment of retinal vasculature. In this study, we proposed a novel Supervision Vessel Segmentation network (SVS-net) to detect vessels of different sizes. The SVS-net includes a new attention-based module to describe vessel positions and facilitate the understanding of the network learning process. The model is efficient and explainable and could be utilized to reduce the need for manual labeling. Our SVS-net had better performance in accuracy, recall, F1 score, and Kappa score when compared to other well recognized models.
In radiotherapy planning, manual contouring is labor-intensive and time-consuming. Accurate and robust automated segmentation models improve the efficiency and treatment outcome. We aim to develop a novel hybrid deep learning approach, combining conv olutional neural networks (CNNs) and the self-attention mechanism, for rapid and accurate multi-organ segmentation on head and neck computed tomography (CT) images. Head and neck CT images with manual contours of 115 patients were retrospectively collected and used. We set the training/validation/testing ratio to 81/9/25 and used the 10-fold cross-validation strategy to select the best model parameters. The proposed hybrid model segmented ten organs-at-risk (OARs) altogether for each case. The performance of the model was evaluated by three metrics, i.e., the Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC), Hausdorff distance 95% (HD95), and mean surface distance (MSD). We also tested the performance of the model on the Head and Neck 2015 challenge dataset and compared it against several state-of-the-art automated segmentation algorithms. The proposed method generated contours that closely resemble the ground truth for ten OARs. Our results of the new Weaving Attention U-net demonstrate superior or similar performance on the segmentation of head and neck CT images.
Retinal blood vessel can assist doctors in diagnosis of eye-related diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, and its segmentation is particularly important for automatic retinal image analysis. However, it is challenging to segment these vessels s tructures, especially the thin capillaries from the color retinal image due to low contrast and ambiguousness. In this paper, we propose pyramid U-Net for accurate retinal vessel segmentation. In pyramid U-Net, the proposed pyramid-scale aggregation blocks (PSABs) are employed in both the encoder and decoder to aggregate features at higher, current and lower levels. In this way, coarse-to-fine context information is shared and aggregated in each block thus to improve the location of capillaries. To further improve performance, two optimizations including pyramid inputs enhancement and deep pyramid supervision are applied to PSABs in the encoder and decoder, respectively. For PSABs in the encoder, scaled input images are added as extra inputs. While for PSABs in the decoder, scaled intermediate outputs are supervised by the scaled segmentation labels. Extensive evaluations show that our pyramid U-Net outperforms the current state-of-the-art methods on the public DRIVE and CHASE-DB1 datasets.
