Microtubule Detection and Instance Segmentation using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks

Microtubules are long cylindrical polymers, assembled from tubulin proteins. Microtubule ends can be visualized using fluorescence and confocal microscopy. This allows for the study of microtubule dynamics. However, the manual annotation of microtubules is laborious, which is why automated tracking methods are used. In this project we have...

A learning approach for river debris detection

Plastic pollution in the sea is an environmental hazard, negatively impacts marine life, and causes economic damage all over the world. It is estimated that each year 8 million tonnes of plastic are deposited in seas, the vast majority coming from rivers. In recent years, publicly available satellite imagery has been used to attempt to track...

Transferring a Segmentation Task Between Real and Synthetic Data

In the field of ecology, camera traps are important tools to collect information on the wildlife of certain areas. The problem that arises with many camera traps is that they can collect more images than a human can realistically go trough all by themselves. To help classify these images computer vision is proposed as an alternative to manual...
