Three Dimensional Root CT Segmentation using Multi-Resolution Encoder-Decoder Networks

Abstract: We address the complex problem of reliably segmenting root structure from soil in X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) images. We utilise a deep learning approach, and propose a state-of-the-art multi-resolution architecture based on encoder-decoders. While previous work in encoder-decoders implies the use of multiple resolutions simply by downsampling and upsampling images, we make this process explicit, with branches of the network tasked separately with obtaining local high-resolution segmentation, and wider low-… Show more

“…All data are not created equal, with great variability in the utility of each annotated pixel for the model training process (20). It may be necessary to add harder examples after observing weaknesses in an initial trained model (21), or to correct for a class imbalance in the data where many examples exist of a majority class (22). Interactive segmentation methods using CNNs such as (23,24) provide ways to improve the annotation procedure by allowing user input to be used in the inference process and can be an effective way to create large high quality datasets in less time (25).…”
