Topic:Segmentace vláken v papíru z mikro CT dat
Department:Katedra kybernetiky
Supervisor:prof. Dr. Ing. Jan Kybic
Announce as:Diplomová práce, Bakalářská práce, Semestrální projekt
Description:The aim of the project is to create a method for automatic
segmentation of paper fibers from micro CT images.

Instructions

1. Read the data and manual segmentations and visualize them.
2. Get acquainted with existing methods based on provided references.
3. Get acquainted with the PyTorch library, try some simple image
segmentation task using the UNet architecture.
4. Predict the fiber location in 2D using deep learning. I recommend
to formulate the task as a regression problem on the transformed
distance map (perhaps the Gaussian of the distance to the nearest
fiber center), similar to Naylor et al. or Mertanová.
5. Connect the fiber centers using a suitable algorithm (minimum path
methods, particle filtering, iterative global methods)
6. Evaluate the segmentation quantitatively on the paper fibers as
well as on other fiber datasets.
7. Consider existing deep learning approaches (e.g. DeepTract, Learn
to Track, Turetken et al. ) and suggest how to apply them on our data.
