PseudoEdgeNet: Nuclei Segmentation only with Point Annotations

Understand

Nuclei segmentation is one of the important tasks for whole slide image analysis in digital pathology.

• With the drastic advance of deep learning, recent deep networks have demonstrated successful performance of the nuclei segmentation task.
• However, a major bottleneck to achieving good performance is the cost for annotation.
• A large network requires a large number of segmentation masks, and this annotation task is given to pathologists, not the public.
