Cellular-resolution connectomics aims to generate comprehensive brain connectivity maps; a key challenge is developing scalable algorithms; deep learning, specifically FusionNet, has shown promise in automatically segmenting neuronal structures in connectomics data.
Cellular-resolution connectomics is an ambitious research direction with the goal of generating comprehensive brain connectivity maps using high-throughput, nano-scale electron microscopy. One of the main challenges in connectomics research is developing scalable image analysis algorithms that require minimal user intervention. Deep learning has provided exceptional performance in image classification tasks in computer vision, leading to a recent explosion in popularity. Similarly, its application to connectomic analyses holds great promise. Here, we introduce a deep neural network architecture, FusionNet, with a focus on its application to accomplish automatic segmentation of neuronal structures in connectomics data. FusionNet combines recent advances in machine learning, such as semantic segmentation and residual neural networks, with summation-based skip connections. This results in a much deeper network architecture and improves segmentation accuracy. We demonstrate the performance of the proposed method by comparing it with several other popular electron microscopy segmentation methods. We further illustrate its flexibility through segmentation results for two different tasks: cell membrane segmentation and cell nucleus segmentation.
