There is large consent that successful training of deep networks requires many thousand annotated training samples. [...] Key Method We show that such a network can be trained end-to-end from very few images and outperforms the prior best method (a sliding-window convolutional network) on the ISBI challenge for segmentation of neuronal structures in electron microscopic stacks. Using the same network trained on transmitted light microscopy images (phase contrast and DIC) we won the ISBI cell tracking challenge…Expand

A Learning-Guided Hierarchical Approach for Biomedical Image Segmentation
TLDR
This paper proposes and experimentally evaluates a more efficient framework, especially suited for image segmentation on embedded systems, that involves first “tiling” the target image, followed by processing the tiles that only contain an object of interest in a hierarchical fashion.
