Abstract [en]

This paper proposes a way of better approximating continuous, two-dimensional morphology in the discrete domain, by allowing for irregularly sampled input and output signals. We generalize previous work to allow for a greater variety of structuring elements, both flat and non-flat. Experimentally we show improved results over regular, discrete morphology with respect to the approximation of continuous morphology. It is also worth noting that the number of output samples can often be reduced without sacrificing the quality of the approximation, since the morphological operators usually generate output signals with many plateaus, which, intuitively do not need a large number of samples to be correctly represented. Finally, the paper presents some results showing adaptive morphology on irregularly sampled signals.

Abstract [en]

The properties of the fibre/matrix interface contribute to stiffness, strength and fracture behaviour of fibre-reinforced composites. In cellulosic composites, the limited affinity between the hydrophilic fibres and the hydrophobic thermoplastic matrix remains a challenge, and the reinforcing capability ofthe fibres is hence not fully utilized. A direct characterisation of the stress transfer ability through pull-out tests on single fibres is extremely cumbersome due to the small dimension of the wood fibres. Here a novel approach is proposed:the length distribution ofthe fibres sticking out ofthe matrix atthe fracture surface is approximated using X-ray microtomography and is used as an estimate of the adhesion between the fibres and the matrix. When a crack grows in the material, the fibres will either break or be pulled-out of the matrix depending on their adhesion to the matrix: good adhesion between the fibres and the matrix should result in more fibre breakage and less pull-out of the fibres than poor adhesion. The effect of acetylation on the adhesion between the wood fibres and the PLA matrix was evaluated at different moisture contents using the proposed method. By using an acetylation treatment of the fibres it was possible to improve the strength of the composite samples soaked in the water by more than 30%.

Abstract [en]

Seeded segmentation with minimum spanning forests, also known as segmentation by watershed cuts, is a powerful method for supervised image segmentation. Given that correct segmentation labels are provided for a small set of image elements, called seeds, the watershed cut method completes the labeling for all image elements so that the boundaries between different labels are optimally aligned with salient edges in the image. Here, a randomized version of watershed segmentation, the targeted stochastic watershed, is proposed for performing multi-label targeted image segmentation with stochastic seed input. The input to the algorithm is a set of probability density functions (PDFs), one for each segmentation label, defined over the pixels of the image. For each pixel, we calculate the probability that the pixel is assigned a given segmentation label in seeded watershed segmentation with seeds drawn from the input PDFs. We propose an efficient algorithm (quasi-linear with respect to the number of image elements) for calculating the desired probabilities exactly.

Abstract [en]

Histopathology of testicular tissue is considered to be the most sensitive tool to detect adverse effects on male reproduction. When assessing tissue damage, seminiferous epithelium needs to be classified into different stages to detect certain cell damages; but stage identification is a demanding task. The authors present a method to identify the 12 stages in mink testicular tissue. The staging system uses Gata-4 immunohistochemistry to visualize acrosome development and proved to be both intraobserver-reproducible and interobserver-reproducible with a substantial agreement of 83.6% (kappa=0.81) and 70.5% (kappa=0.67), respectively. To further advance and objectify this method, they present a computerized staging system that identifies these 12 stages. This program has an agreement of 52.8% (kappa 0.47) with the consensus staging by 2 investigators. The authors propose a pooling of the stages into 5 groups based on morphology, stage transition, and toxicologically important endpoints. The computerized program then reached a substantial agreement of 76.7% (kappa=0.69). The computerized staging tool uses local ternary patterns to describe the texture of the tubules and a support vector machine classifier to learn which textures correspond to which stages. The results have the potential to modernize the tedious staging process required in toxicological evaluation of testicular tissue, especially if combined with whole-slide imaging and automated tubular segmentation.

Abstract [en]

While novel whole-plant phenotyping technologies have been successfully implemented into functional genomics and breeding programs, the potential of automated phenotyping with cellular resolution is largely unexploited. Laser scanning confocal microscopy has the potential to close this gap by providing spatially highly resolved images containing anatomic as well as chemical information on a subcellular basis. However, in the absence of automated methods, the assessment of the spatial patterns and abundance of fluorescent markers with subcellular resolution is still largely qualitative and time-consuming. Recent advances in image acquisition and analysis, coupled with improvements in microprocessor performance, have brought such automated methods within reach, so that information from thousands of cells per image for hundreds of images may be derived in an experimentally convenient time-frame. Here, we present a MATLAB-based analytical pipeline to (1) segment radial plant organs into individual cells, (2) classify cells into cell type categories based upon Random Forest classification, (3) divide each cell into sub-regions, and (4) quantify fluorescence intensity to a subcellular degree of precision for a separate fluorescence channel. In this research advance, we demonstrate the precision of this analytical process for the relatively complex tissues of Arabidopsis hypocotyls at various stages of development. High speed and robustness make our approach suitable for phenotyping of large collections of stem-like material and other tissue types.

Abstract [en]

The Hit or Miss Transform is a fundamental morphological operator, and can be used for template matching. In this paper, we present a framework for adaptive Hit or Miss Transform, where structuring elements are adaptive with respect to the input image itself. We illustrate the difference between the new adaptive Hit or Miss Transform and the classical Hit or Miss Transform. As an example of its usefulness, we show how the new adaptive Hit or Miss Transform can detect particles in single molecule imaging.

Abstract [en]

The stochastic watershed is a segmentation algorithm that estimates the importance of each boundary by repeatedly segmenting the image using a watershed with randomly placed seeds. Recently, this algorithm was further developed in two directions: (1) The exact evaluation algorithm efficiently produces the result of the stochastic watershed with an infinite number of repetitions. This algorithm computes the probability for each boundary to be found by a watershed with random seeds, making the result deterministic and much faster. (2) The robust stochastic watershed improves the usefulness of the segmentation result by avoiding false edges in large regions of uniform intensity. This algorithm simply adds noise to the input image for each repetition of the watershed with random seeds. In this paper, we combine these two algorithms into a method that produces a segmentation result comparable to the robust stochastic watershed, with a considerably reduced computation time. We propose to run the exact evaluation algorithm three times, with uniform noise added to the input image, to produce three different estimates of probabilities for the edges. We combine these three estimates with the geometric mean. In a relatively simple segmentation problem, F-measures averaged over the results on 46 images were identical to those of the robust stochastic watershed, but the computation times were an order of magnitude shorter.
