Learning Transferable Object-Centric Diffeomorphic Transformations for Data Augmentation in Medical Image Segmentation
Obtaining labelled data in medical image segmentation is challenging due to the need for pixel-level annotations by experts. Recent works have shown that augmenting the object of interest with deformable transformations can help mitigate this challenge. However, these transformations have been learned globally for the image, limiting their transferability across datasets or applicability in problems where image alignment is difficult. While object-centric augmentations provide a great opportunity to overcome these issues, existing works are only focused on position and random transformations without considering shape variations of the objects. To this end, we propose a novel object-centric data augmentation model that is able to learn the shape variations for the objects of interest and augment the object in place without modifying the rest of the image. We demonstrated its effectiveness in improving kidney tumour segmentation when leveraging shape variations learned both from within the same dataset and transferred from external datasets.

Producing spatial transformations that are diffeomorphic is a key goal in deformable image registration. As a diffeomorphic transformation should have positive Jacobian determinant |J| everywhere, the number of voxels wi…

Spatial Transformer layers allow neural networks, at least in principle, to be invariant to large spatial transformations in image data. The model has, however, seen limited uptake as most practical implementations suppo…

In this paper we propose a spatial transformer network where the spatial transformations are limited to the group of diffeomorphisms. Diffeomorphic transformations are a kind of homeomorphism, which by definition preserv…
