Abstract
En 中文
Background and objective: Training a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) for automatic image classification requires a large database with images of labeled samples. However, in some applications such as biology and medicine only a few experts can correctly categorize each sample. Experts are able to identify small changes in shape and texture which go unnoticed by untrained people, as well as distinguish between objects in the same class that present drastically different shapes and textures. This means that currently available databases are too small and not suitable to train deep learning models from scratch. To deal with this problem, data augmentation techniques are commonly used to increase the dataset size. However, typical data augmentation methods introduce artifacts or apply distortions to the original image, which instead of creating new realistic samples, obtain basic spatial variations of the original ones. Methods: We propose a novel data augmentation procedure which generates new realistic samples, by combining two samples that belong to the same class. Although the idea behind the method described in this paper is to mimic the variations that diatoms experience in different stages of their life cycle, it has also been demonstrated in glomeruli and pollen identification problems. This new data augmentation procedure is based on morphing and image registration methods that perform diffeomorphic transformations.
