The existing segmentation techniques require high-fidelity images as input to perform semantic segmentation. Since the segmentation results contain most of edge information that is much less than the acquired images, the throughput gap leads to both hardware and software waste. In this letter, we report an image-free single-pixel segmentation technique. The technique combines structured illumination and single-pixel detection together, to efficiently samples and multiplexes scenes segmentation information into compressed one-dimensional measurements. The illumination patterns are optimized together with the subsequent reconstruction neural network, which directly infers segmentation maps from the single-pixel measurements. The end-to-end encoding-and-decoding learning framework enables optimized illumination with corresponding network, which provides both high acquisition and segmentation efficiency. Both simulation and experimental results validate that accurate segmentation can be achieved using two-order-of-magnitude less input data. When the sampling ratio is 1%, the Dice coefficient reaches above 80% and the pixel accuracy reaches above 96%. We envision that this image-free segmentation technique can be widely applied in various resource-limited platforms such as UAV and unmanned vehicle that require real-time sensing.

Single-pixel imaging (SPI) has a major drawback that many sequential illuminations are required for capturing one single image with long acquisition time. Basis illumination patterns such as Fourier patterns and Hadamard patterns can achieve much bet ter imaging efficiency than random patterns. But the performance is still sub-optimal since the basis patterns are fixed and non-adaptive for varying object images. This Letter proposes a novel scheme for designing and optimizing the illumination patterns adaptively from an image dictionary by extracting the common image features using principal component analysis (PCA). Simulation and experimental results reveal that our proposed scheme outperforms conventional Fourier SPI in terms of imaging efficiency.
Deep learning has largely reduced the need for manual feature selection in image segmentation. Nevertheless, network architecture optimization and hyperparameter tuning are mostly manual and time consuming. Although there are increasing research effo rts on network architecture search in computer vision, most works concentrate on image classification but not segmentation, and there are very limited efforts on medical image segmentation especially in 3D. To remedy this, here we propose a framework, SegNAS3D, for network architecture search of 3D image segmentation. In this framework, a network architecture comprises interconnected building blocks that consist of operations such as convolution and skip connection. By representing the block structure as a learnable directed acyclic graph, hyperparameters such as the number of feature channels and the option of using deep supervision can be learned together through derivative-free global optimization. Experiments on 43 3D brain magnetic resonance images with 19 structures achieved an average Dice coefficient of 82%. Each architecture search required less than three days on three GPUs and produced architectures that were much smaller than the state-of-the-art manually created architectures.
This work aims at designing a lightweight convolutional neural network for image super resolution (SR). With simplicity bare in mind, we construct a pretty concise and effective network with a newly proposed pixel attention scheme. Pixel attention (P A) is similar as channel attention and spatial attention in formulation. The difference is that PA produces 3D attention maps instead of a 1D attention vector or a 2D map. This attention scheme introduces fewer additional parameters but generates better SR results. On the basis of PA, we propose two building blocks for the main branch and the reconstruction branch, respectively. The first one - SC-PA block has the same structure as the Self-Calibrated convolution but with our PA layer. This block is much more efficient than conventional residual/dense blocks, for its twobranch architecture and attention scheme. While the second one - UPA block combines the nearest-neighbor upsampling, convolution and PA layers. It improves the final reconstruction quality with little parameter cost. Our final model- PAN could achieve similar performance as the lightweight networks - SRResNet and CARN, but with only 272K parameters (17.92% of SRResNet and 17.09% of CARN). The effectiveness of each proposed component is also validated by ablation study. The code is available at https://github.com/zhaohengyuan1/PAN.
Two novel visual cryptography (VC) schemes are proposed by combining VC with single-pixel imaging (SPI) for the first time. It is pointed out that the overlapping of visual key images in VC is similar to the superposition of pixel intensities by a si ngle-pixel detector in SPI. In the first scheme, QR-code VC is designed by using opaque sheets instead of transparent sheets. The secret image can be recovered when identical illumination patterns are projected onto multiple visual key images and a single detector is used to record the total light intensities. In the second scheme, the secret image is shared by multiple illumination pattern sequences and it can be recovered when the visual key patterns are projected onto identical items. The application of VC can be extended to more diversified scenarios by our proposed schemes.
Our work expands the use of capsule networks to the task of object segmentation for the first time in the literature. This is made possible via the introduction of locally-constrained routing and transformation matrix sharing, which reduces the param eter/memory burden and allows for the segmentation of objects at large resolutions. To compensate for the loss of global information in constraining the routing, we propose the concept of deconvolutional capsules to create a deep encoder-decoder style network, called SegCaps. We extend the masked reconstruction regularization to the task of segmentation and perform thorough ablation experiments on each component of our method. The proposed convolutional-deconvolutional capsule network, SegCaps, shows state-of-the-art results while using a fraction of the parameters of popular segmentation networks. To validate our proposed method, we perform experiments segmenting pathological lungs from clinical and pre-clinical thoracic computed tomography (CT) scans and segmenting muscle and adipose (fat) tissue from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of human subjects thighs. Notably, our experiments in lung segmentation represent the largest-scale study in pathological lung segmentation in the literature, where we conduct experiments across five extremely challenging datasets, containing both clinical and pre-clinical subjects, and nearly 2000 computed-tomography scans. Our newly developed segmentation platform outperforms other methods across all datasets while utilizing less than 5% of the parameters in the popular U-Net for biomedical image segmentation. Further, we demonstrate capsules ability to generalize to unseen rotations/reflections on natural images.
