Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) unlocks the huge potential to a wide variety of applications relied on high-precision pathology image segmentation, such as computational pathology and precision medicine. Since hyperspectral pathology images benefit from the rich and detailed spectral information even beyond the visible spectrum, the key to achieve high-precision hyperspectral pathology image segmentation is to felicitously model the context along high-dimensional spectral bands. Inspired by the strong context modeling ability of transformers, we hereby, for the first time, formulate the contextual feature learning across spectral bands for hyperspectral pathology image segmentation as a sequence-to-sequence prediction procedure by transformers. To assist spectral context learning procedure, we introduce two important strategies: (1) a sparsity scheme enforces the learned contextual relationship to be sparse, so as to eliminates the distraction from the redundant bands; (2) a spectral normalization, a separate group normalization for each spectral band, mitigates the nuisance caused by heterogeneous underlying distributions of bands. We name our method Spectral Transformer (SpecTr), which enjoys two benefits: (1) it has a strong ability to model long-range dependency among spectral bands, and (2) it jointly explores the spatial-spectral features of HSI. Experiments show that SpecTr outperforms other competing methods in a hyperspectral pathology image segmentation benchmark without the need of pre-training.

Histopathology has played an essential role in cancer diagnosis. With the rapid advances in convolutional neural networks (CNN). Various CNN-based automated pathological image segmentation approaches have been developed in computer-assisted pathologi
cal image analysis. In the past few years, Transformer neural networks (Transformer) have shown the unique merit of capturing the global long distance dependencies across the entire image as a new deep learning paradigm. Such merit is appealing for exploring spatially heterogeneous pathological images. However, there have been very few, if any, studies that have systematically evaluated the current Transformer based approaches in pathological image segmentation. To assess the performance of Transformer segmentation models on whole slide images (WSI), we quantitatively evaluated six prevalent transformer-based models on tumor segmentation, using the widely used PAIP liver histopathological dataset. For a more comprehensive analysis, we also compare the transformer-based models with six major traditional CNN-based models. The results show that the Transformer-based models exhibit a general superior performance over the CNN-based models. In particular, Segmenter, Swin-Transformer and TransUNet, all transformer-based, came out as the best performers among the twelve evaluated models.
In the past few years, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved milestones in medical image analysis. Especially, the deep neural networks based on U-shaped architecture and skip-connections have been widely applied in a variety of medical
image tasks. However, although CNN has achieved excellent performance, it cannot learn global and long-range semantic information interaction well due to the locality of the convolution operation. In this paper, we propose Swin-Unet, which is an Unet-like pure Transformer for medical image segmentation. The tokenized image patches are fed into the Transformer-based U-shaped Encoder-Decoder architecture with skip-connections for local-global semantic feature learning. Specifically, we use hierarchical Swin Transformer with shifted windows as the encoder to extract context features. And a symmetric Swin Transformer-based decoder with patch expanding layer is designed to perform the up-sampling operation to restore the spatial resolution of the feature maps. Under the direct down-sampling and up-sampling of the inputs and outputs by 4x, experiments on multi-organ and cardiac segmentation tasks demonstrate that the pure Transformer-based U-shaped Encoder-Decoder network outperforms those methods with full-convolution or the combination of transformer and convolution. The codes and trained models will be publicly available at https://github.com/HuCaoFighting/Swin-Unet.
Hyperspectral images are of crucial importance in order to better understand features of different materials. To reach this goal, they leverage on a high number of spectral bands. However, this interesting characteristic is often paid by a reduced sp
atial resolution compared with traditional multispectral image systems. In order to alleviate this issue, in this work, we propose a simple and efficient architecture for deep convolutional neural networks to fuse a low-resolution hyperspectral image (LR-HSI) and a high-resolution multispectral image (HR-MSI), yielding a high-resolution hyperspectral image (HR-HSI). The network is designed to preserve both spatial and spectral information thanks to an architecture from two folds: one is to utilize the HR-HSI at a different scale to get an output with a satisfied spectral preservation; another one is to apply concepts of multi-resolution analysis to extract high-frequency information, aiming to output high quality spatial details. Finally, a plain mean squared error loss function is used to measure the performance during the training. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed network architecture achieves best performance (both qualitatively and quantitatively) compared with recent state-of-the-art hyperspectral image super-resolution approaches. Moreover, other significant advantages can be pointed out by the use of the proposed approach, such as, a better network generalization ability, a limited computational burden, and a robustness with respect to the number of training samples.
Hyperspectral imaging is one of the most promising techniques for intraoperative tissue characterisation. Snapshot mosaic cameras, which can capture hyperspectral data in a single exposure, have the potential to make a real-time hyperspectral imaging
system for surgical decision-making possible. However, optimal exploitation of the captured data requires solving an ill-posed demosaicking problem and applying additional spectral corrections to recover spatial and spectral information of the image. In this work, we propose a deep learning-based image demosaicking algorithm for snapshot hyperspectral images using supervised learning methods. Due to the lack of publicly available medical images acquired with snapshot mosaic cameras, a synthetic image generation approach is proposed to simulate snapshot images from existing medical image datasets captured by high-resolution, but slow, hyperspectral imaging devices. Image reconstruction is achieved using convolutional neural networks for hyperspectral image super-resolution, followed by cross-talk and leakage correction using a sensor-specific calibration matrix. The resulting demosaicked images are evaluated both quantitatively and qualitatively, showing clear improvements in image quality compared to a baseline demosaicking method using linear interpolation. Moreover, the fast processing time of~45,ms of our algorithm to obtain super-resolved RGB or oxygenation saturation maps per image frame for a state-of-the-art snapshot mosaic camera demonstrates the potential for its seamless integration into real-time surgical hyperspectral imaging applications.
With the development of deep encoder-decoder architectures and large-scale annotated medical datasets, great progress has been achieved in the development of automatic medical image segmentation. Due to the stacking of convolution layers and the cons
ecutive sampling operations, existing standard models inevitably encounter the information recession problem of feature representations, which fails to fully model the global contextual feature dependencies. To overcome the above challenges, this paper proposes a novel Transformer based medical image semantic segmentation framework called TransAttUnet, in which the multi-level guided attention and multi-scale skip connection are jointly designed to effectively enhance the functionality and flexibility of traditional U-shaped architecture. Inspired by Transformer, a novel self-aware attention (SAA) module with both Transformer Self Attention (TSA) and Global Spatial Attention (GSA) is incorporated into TransAttUnet to effectively learn the non-local interactions between encoder features. In particular, we also establish additional multi-scale skip connections between decoder blocks to aggregate the different semantic-scale upsampling features. In this way, the representation ability of multi-scale context information is strengthened to generate discriminative features. Benefitting from these complementary components, the proposed TransAttUnet can effectively alleviate the loss of fine details caused by the information recession problem, improving the diagnostic sensitivity and segmentation quality of medical image analysis. Extensive experiments on multiple medical image segmentation datasets of different imaging demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms the state-of-the-art baselines.
