Abstract

This paper concentrates on the use of Echo State Networks (ESNs), an effective form of reservoir computing, to improve microscopic cellular image segmentation. An ESN is a sparsely connected recurrent neural network in which most of the weights are fixed a priori to randomly chosen values. The only trainable weights are those of links connected to the outputs. The process of segmentation is conducted via two approaches: the basic form, which uses one reservoir, and our approach, which corresponds to using multiple reservoirs. Experimental results confirm the benefits of the second approach, which outperforms all state-of-the-art methods considered in this paper for the problem of microscopic image segmentation.
