A label-free and data-free training strategy for vasculature segmentation in serial sectioning OCT data
Serial sectioning Optical Coherence Tomography (sOCT) is a high-throughput, label free microscopic imaging technique that is becoming increasingly popular to study post-mortem neurovasculature. Quantitative analysis of the vasculature requires highly accurate segmentation; however, sOCT has low signal-to-noise-ratio and displays a wide range of contrasts and artifacts that depend on acquisition parameters. Furthermore, labeled data is scarce and extremely time consuming to generate. Here, we leverage synthetic datasets of vessels to train a deep learning segmentation model. We construct the vessels with semi-realistic splines that simulate the vascular geometry and compare our model with realistic vascular labels generated by constrained constructive optimization. Both approaches yield similar Dice scores, although with very different false positive and false negative rates. This method addresses the complexity inherent in OCT images and paves the way for more accurate and efficient analysis of neurovascular structures.

Reducing Label Noise in Anchor-Free Object Detection
Current anchor-free object detectors label all the features that spatially fall inside a predefined central region of a ground-truth box as positive. This approach causes label noise during training, since some of these …
