Cover Story: The observation of cancerous cells is of high importance for many areas, not least to test new therapies. Many aspects can be observed, like migration of cells, response to a certain chemotherapy, or the actual shape of a cell and its nucleus. Electron microscopes allow the observation of cells with exquisite detail in three dimensions, which at the same time demands sophisticated methodologies to automate tasks like detection, segmentation and visualisation of volumetric surfaces. This paper describes an algorithm to automatically detect individual instances of three dimensional HeLa cells, from an Electron Microscope dataset, to the volumetric surface of the plasma membrane and nuclear envelope for each of the cells detected.

Super Resolution of Magnetic Resonance Images

  • Prabhjot Kaur,
  • Anil Kumar Sao and
  • Chirag Kamal Ahuja

In this work, novel denoising and super resolution (SR) approaches for magnetic resonance (MR) images are addressed, and are integrated in a unified framework, which do not require example low resolution (LR)/high resolution (HR)/cross-modality/noise...

Directional TGV-Based Image Restoration under Poisson Noise

  • Daniela di Serafino,
  • Germana Landi and
  • Marco Viola

We are interested in the restoration of noisy and blurry images where the texture mainly follows a single direction (i.e., directional images). Problems of this type arise, for example, in microscopy or computed tomography for carbon or glass fibres....

Determining Chess Game State from an Image

  • Georg Wölflein and
  • Ognjen Arandjelović

Identifying the configuration of chess pieces from an image of a chessboard is a problem in computer vision that has not yet been solved accurately. However, it is important for helping amateur chess players improve their games by facilitating automa...

Volumetric Semantic Instance Segmentation of the Plasma Membrane of HeLa Cells

  • Cefa Karabağ,
  • Martin L. Jones and
  • Constantino Carlos Reyes-Aldasoro

In this work, an unsupervised volumetric semantic instance segmentation of the plasma membrane of HeLa cells as observed with serial block face scanning electron microscopy is described. The resin background of the images was segmented at different s...
