Abstract
The recent success of deep learning techniques in classification and object detection tasks has been leveraged for segmentation tasks. However, a weakness of these deep segmentation models is their limited ability to encode high level shape priors, such as smoothness and preservation of complex interactions between object regions, which can result in implausible segmentations. In this work, by formulating and optimizing a new loss, we introduce the first deep network trained to encode geometric and topological priors of containment and detachment. Our results on the segmentation of histology glands from a dataset of 165 images demonstrate the advantage of our novel loss terms and show how our topology aware architecture outperforms competing methods by up to 10 % in both pixel-level accuracy and object-level Dice.
