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)

  • Todorovic Group (OSU, EECS): Yao Zhou, Xu Xu

Agenda

  • Discussed approaches to functionality ahead of Bisque tech mtg
    • Latency in Bisque's current round-trip approach to Graph Cuts segmentations - is it the round-trip or the graph cuts that takes so long? (JP thinks it's the round trip)
    • IGC segmentation algorithm - DCU and Bisque implementations different? (don't know yet)
    • Discuss implementation of segmentation module: general use-case
      • how to capture and transmit user input (foreground/background markup)
      • how to return segmentation results
      • emphasized importance of lean data communication, layered segments, overlap capabilities, undo/redo, how to store points sets and annotation data (in generic data structure terms)
  • Project planning and timelines: define an iterative dev approach (multiple phases, with modest & clear initial goals)
    • will flesh out in mtg w/ Bisque team
