From Division to Decision: Leveraging Temporal Cell-Stage Segmentation for Embryo Transferability Prediction

Accurate selection of bovine embryos is a challenging task, as current practice relies on a single expert assessment on the seventh day after insemination, resulting in high rates of pregnancy loss. Time-lapse videomicroscopy provides detailed information on early development, but is difficult to exploit because of complex motion patterns and time-consuming analysis. We propose TransFACT, a transformer-based framework for modeling early developmental stages and embryo transferability using 2D time-lapse videos from the first four days of development. TransFACT combines frame-level temporal features with stage-level representations, using developmental stages as auxiliary supervision to predict transferability on day four. Our experiments demonstrate that TransFACT, by leveraging an existing method designed for action recognition, achieves superior performance than its competitor in predicting embryo transferability.

Tubelets: Unsupervised action proposals from spatiotemporal super-voxels

This paper considers the problem of localizing actions in videos as a sequences of bounding boxes. The objective is to generate action proposals that are likely to include the action of interest, ideally achieving high recall with few proposals. Our contributions are threefold. First, inspired by selective search for object proposals, we introduce an approach to generate action proposals from spatiotemporal super-voxels in an unsupervised manner, we call them Tubelets. Second, along with the static features from individual frames our approach advantageously exploits motion. We introduce independent motion evidence as a feature to characterize how the action deviates from the background and explicitly incorporate such motion information in various stages of the proposal generation. Finally, we introduce spatiotemporal refinement of Tubelets, for more precise localization of actions, and pruning to keep the number of Tubelets limited. We demonstrate the suitability of our approach by extensive experiments for action proposal quality and action localization on three public datasets: UCF Sports, MSR-II and UCF101. For action proposal quality, our unsupervised proposals beat all other existing approaches on the three datasets. For action localization, we show top performance on both the trimmed videos of UCF Sports and UCF101 as well as the untrimmed videos of MSR-II.

Aggregation of local parametric candidates with exemplar-based occlusion handling for optical flow

Handling all together large displacements, motion details and occlusions remains an open issue for reliable computation of optical flow in a video sequence. We propose a two-step aggregation paradigm to address this problem. The idea is to supply local motion candidates at every pixel in a first step, and then to combine them to determine the global optical flow field in a second step. We exploit local parametric estimations combined with patch correspondences and we experimentally demonstrate that they are sufficient to produce highly accurate motion candidates. The aggregation step is designed as the discrete optimization of a global regularized energy. The occlusion map is estimated jointly with the flow field throughout the two steps. We propose a generic exemplar-based approach for occlusion filling with motion vectors. We achieve state-of-the-art results in computer vision benchmarks, with particularly significant improvements in the case of large displacements and occlusions.
