Multi-class segmentation of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images seeks a separation of data into anatomical components with known structure and configuration. The most popular CNN-based methods are optimised using pixel wise loss functions, ignorant of the spatially extended features that characterise anatomy. Therefore, whilst sharing a high spatial overlap with the ground truth, inferred CNN-based segmentations can lack coherence, including spurious connected components, holes and voids. Such results are implausible, violating anticipated anatomical topology. In response, (single-class) persistent homology-based loss functions have been proposed to capture global anatomical features. Our work extends these approaches to the task of multi-class segmentation. Building an enriched topological description of all class labels and class label pairs, our loss functions make predictable and statistically significant improvements in segmentation topology using a CNN-based post-processing framework. We also present (and make available) a highly efficient implementation based on cubical complexes and parallel execution, enabling practical application within high resolution 3D data for the first time. We demonstrate our approach on 2D short axis and 3D whole heart CMR segmentation, advancing a detailed and faithful analysis of performance on two publicly available datasets.
With respect to spatial overlap, CNN-based segmentation of short axis cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) images has achieved a level of performance consistent with inter observer variation. However, conventional training procedures frequently de
Patient-specific 3D printing of congenital heart anatomy demands an accurate segmentation of the thin tissue interfaces which characterise these diagnoses. Even when a label set has a high spatial overlap with the ground truth, inaccurate delineation
We introduce a method for training neural networks to perform image or volume segmentation in which prior knowledge about the topology of the segmented object can be explicitly provided and then incorporated into the training process. By using the di
Coherent imaging systems like synthetic aperture radar are susceptible to multiplicative noise that makes applications like automatic target recognition challenging. In this paper, NeighCNN, a deep learning-based speckle reduction algorithm that hand
Automatic airway segmentation from chest computed tomography (CT) scans plays an important role in pulmonary disease diagnosis and computer-assisted therapy. However, low contrast at peripheral branches and complex tree-like structures remain as two
