Abstract

Automatic segmentation of challenging biomedical volumes with multiple objects is still an open research field. Automatic approaches usually require a large amount of training data to be able to model the complex and often noisy appearance and structure of biological organelles and their boundaries. However, due to the variety of different biological specimens and the large volume sizes of the datasets, training data is costly to produce, error prone and sparsely available. Here, we propose a novel Selective Labeling algorithm to overcome these challenges; an unsupervised sub-volume proposal method that identifies the most representative regions of a volume. This massively-reduced subset of regions are then manually labeled and combined with an active learning procedure to fully segment the volume. Results on a publicly available EM dataset demonstrate the quality of our approach by achieving equivalent segmentation accuracy with only 5 % of the training data.
