We propose a flexible algorithm for feature detection and hypothesis testing in images with ultra low signal-to-noise ratio using cubical persistent homology. Our main application is in the identification of atomic columns and other features in transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Cubical persistent homology is used to identify local minima and their size in subregions in the frames of nanoparticle videos, which are hypothesized to correspond to relevant atomic features. We compare the…

Topological image modification for object detection and topological image processing of skin lesions

A new method based on Topological Data Analysis (TDA) consisting of Topological Image Modification (TIM) and Topological image Processing (TIP) for object detection is proposed, which artificially destruct irrelevant objects, and construct new objects with known topological properties in irrelevant regions of an image.

A multi-parameter persistence framework for mathematical morphology

It is demonstrated that morphological operations naturally form a multiparameter filtration and that persistent homology can then be used to extract information about both topology and geometry in the images as well as to automate methods for optimizing the study and rendering of structure in images.

Approaches to Exploring Spatio-Temporal Surface Dynamics in Nanoparticles with In Situ Transmission Electron Microscopy

This work quantitatively characterizes beam-induced dynamic structural rearrangements taking place on the surface of CeO2 (ceria) using a 2D Gaussian fitting procedure, which will provide new insights into the behavior of nanoparticle surface reconstructions that were previously inaccessible using other methods.

Noise robustness of persistent homology on greyscale images, across filtrations and signatures

The results show that the sensitivity to noise of PH is influenced by the choice of filtrations and persistence signatures (respectively the input and output of PH), and in particular, that PH features are often not robust to noise in a classification task.

Deep Denoising for Scientific Discovery: A Case Study in Electron Microscopy

This work proposes a simulation-based denoising (SBD) framework, in which CNNs are trained on simulated images, and tests the framework on transmission electron microscopy data, showing that it outperforms existing techniques on a simulated benchmark dataset, and on real data.

mpfit: a robust method for fitting atomic resolution images with multiple Gaussian peaks

The standard technique for sub-pixel estimation of atom positions from atomic resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy images relies on fitting intensity maxima or minima with a…

Atomap: a new software tool for the automated analysis of atomic resolution images using two-dimensional Gaussian fitting

This work presents a free and open source software tool for analysing both the position and shapes of atomic columns in STEM-images, using 2-D elliptical Gaussian distributions, and can extract changes in the lattice parameters and shape of A-cation columns from annular dark field images of perovskite oxide heterostructures.

Hypothesis testing for topological data analysis

The results show that the randomization-style NHST based on pairwise distances can distinguish between samples from different processes, which suggests that its use for hypothesis tests upon persistence diagrams is reasonable.

Theory and Algorithms for Constructing Discrete Morse Complexes from Grayscale Digital Images

An algorithm for determining the Morse complex of a two or three-dimensional grayscale digital image that agrees with the digital image and has exactly the number and type of critical cells necessary to characterize the topological changes in the level sets is presented.
