15. New approach
● Deep learning pixel-to-pixel segmentation.
○ Hand labelled mask is needed.
○ Let’s generate it !
From : Ra Gyoung Yoon et al, “Quantitative assesment of change in regional disease patterns on
serial HRCT of fibrotic interstitial pneumonia with texture-based automated quantification system”.
2012.
16. Mask generation
● A naive approach → Failed.
○ Because the neural network have learned deterministic
patterns instead of lung disease patterns.

Emphysema
17. Mask generation
● Ken Perlin, “An image Synthesizer”, 1985
○ natural appearing textures
○ gradient based fractal noise
○ heavily used in game business
18. Mask generation
● One random Perlin noise ( simplex noise )
● two randomly selected ROI patches

37. Our contributions
● A simple and practical pixel mask generation
method for DILD ROI dataset using Perlin noise.
○ No radiologist mask needed.
● We applied state-of-the-art deep CNN based
pixel-to-pixel segmentation method to DILD
dataset.
○ High accuracy with reasonable computing time.
