Improving the Neural Segmentation of Blurry Serial SEM Images by Blind Deblurring

Figure 2

Illustration of our G-Net. i and j on Xi,j represents the scale index and processing index. On the left-hand side is the feature pyramid structure with residual blocks Xi,j on each scale. For the skip connection, we propose 1 × 1 convolution layers to reduce the feature channels and sum with decoded features for coarse decoding. On the right-hand side is our proposed progressive fine decoding structure through HFE. Note that Xi,1 do not implement any processing, they are coarse decoded features from left. Moreover, we apply the Tanh activation function to the output from X0,5 and the element-wise sum between output and input as global residual connection to obtain the final result.
