Point-supervised Single-cell Segmentation via Collaborative Knowledge Sharing
Despite their superior performance, deep-learning methods often suffer from the disadvantage of needing large-scale well-annotated training data. In response, recent literature has seen a proliferation of efforts aimed at reducing the annotation burden. This paper focuses on a weakly-supervised training setting for single-cell segmentation models, where the only available training label is the rough locations of individual cells. The specific problem is of practical interest due to the widely available nuclei counter-stain data in biomedical literature, from which the cell locations can be derived programmatically. Of more general interest is a proposed self-learning method called collaborative knowledge sharing, which is related to but distinct from the more well-known consistency learning methods. This strategy achieves self-learning by sharing knowledge between a principal model and a very light-weight collaborator model. Importantly, the two models are entirely different in their architectures, capacities, and model outputs: In our case, the principal model approaches the segmentation problem from an object-detection perspective, whereas the collaborator model a sematic segmentation perspective. We assessed the effectiveness of this strategy by conducting experiments on LIVECell, a large single-cell segmentation dataset of bright-field images, and on A431 dataset, a fluorescence image dataset in which the location labels are generated automatically from nuclei counter-stain data.

期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging (T-MI) is a journal that welcomes the submission of manuscripts focusing on various aspects of medical imaging. The journal encourages the exploration of body structure, morphology, and function through different imaging techniques, including ultrasound, X-rays, magnetic resonance, radionuclides, microwaves, and optical methods. It also promotes contributions related to cell and molecular imaging, as well as all forms of microscopy.
T-MI publishes original research papers that cover a wide range of topics, including but not limited to novel acquisition techniques, medical image processing and analysis, visualization and performance, pattern recognition, machine learning, and other related methods. The journal particularly encourages highly technical studies that offer new perspectives. By emphasizing the unification of medicine, biology, and imaging, T-MI seeks to bridge the gap between instrumentation, hardware, software, mathematics, physics, biology, and medicine by introducing new analysis methods.
While the journal welcomes strong application papers that describe novel methods, it directs papers that focus solely on important applications using medically adopted or well-established methods without significant innovation in methodology to other journals. T-MI is indexed in Pubmed® and Medline®, which are products of the United States National Library of Medicine.
