Goals and Objectives



Detailed Software Specification

Tentative Development Timeline (based on current staffing and resources)

More about AISO, plus downloads.

Phase 1: Spring-Summer 2015

Objective: Implement asynchronous user-directed graph cuts in the Bisque environment.

Summary

  • Build a Bisque module that allows the user to “mark up” an uploaded image, submit that markup to the Bisque server for graph cut segmentation, and receive the segmented results as a layered annotation.
  • Build and integrate a separate feature into the metadata space to allow annotation of image segments with ontology terms (eventually provided remotely via web service.)

Phase 2: Summer-Fall-Winter 2015

Objective: Implement “wired” ontology metadata. Interactive, single-session graph cut segmentation of multiple, potentially overlapping segments on one image.

Summary:

  • Allow the user to provide multiple mark-up lines and perform one or more segmentations on an image in near-real time, during a single user session. Will also allow revision tracking for multiple undo-redo steps as required by the user.
  • Enhance the segmentation feature to render and manage multiple segment objects on a single image, with appropriate overlap, translucency, and inter-segment navigation capabilities.

Phase 3: 2016-2017

Objective(s):

  • Implement machine-learning (“active learning”) algorithms to optimize segmentation and to auto-annotate plant images
  • Optimize for very large, hi-res images (tiling? scaling?)
  • Enable use of localized ontology reference data (a la custom ontologies provided by the user, or in an uploaded file)

Agenda

  • Software progress

Reports

  • XX is working on using the existing GraphCutsSegmentation module as a starting codebase, and extending it to include dynamic graph cut functionality. NOTE: This would be a return to using the Kolmogorov algorithm, plus dynamic features. So long as performance is good and scales well, this model should be ok. XX will be conferring with Bisque reps.
  • RK having trouble getting local Bisque engine to run Matlab modules; this is needed to test his "round-trip" from client to server and back. He will discuss with KK.

Action Items

  • JP: talk to Kris about using UCSB BioDev as our Dev staging server (with build code coming from our GitHub repo)
  • RK: troubleshoot local Bisque engine (specifically running Matlab) with KK; there could be an OSU licensing issue
  • XX: Discuss dynamic graph cuts system design with DF: pure Matlab, or Matlab + C libraries?
