- 将可微渲染嵌入GAN,从真实图像生成带标注的合成数据
- 在三种纳米材料上提升分割精度,生成数据更接近真实样本
- 适合纳米材料量化分析、缺乏标注数据的研究者使用
纳米材料的性能由尺寸、形状和表面特性等参数决定,对技术、生物和环境应用至关重要。深度学习分割网络能实现自动化定量分析,但依赖大量标注数据,而纳米颗粒成像成本高、人工标注耗时。为此,本文提出DiffRenderGAN,一种结合可微渲染与生成对抗网络的新型生成模型,通过优化纹理渲染参数,从非标注的真实显微图像生成逼真的带标注纳米颗粒图像。该方法减少人工干预,相比现有合成数据方法生成更多样、更真实的样本,在钛白粉(TiO₂)、二氧化硅(SiO₂)和银纳米线(AgNW)等多种离子与电子显微图像上验证有效,显著缩小了合成数据与真实数据的差距,推动复杂纳米材料系统的定量分析与理解。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Nanomaterials exhibit distinctive properties governed by parameters such as size, shape, and surface characteristics, which critically influence their applications and interactions across technological, biological, and environmental contexts. Accurate quantification and understanding of these materials are essential for advancing research and innovation. In this regard, deep learning segmentation networks have emerged as powerful tools that enable automated insights and replace subjective methods with precise quantitative analysis. However, their efficacy depends on representative annotated datasets, which are challenging to obtain due to the costly imaging of nanoparticles and the labor-intensive nature of manual annotations. To overcome these limitations, we introduce DiffRenderGAN, a novel generative model designed to produce annotated synthetic data. By integrating a differentiable renderer into a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) framework, DiffRenderGAN optimizes textural rendering parameters to generate realistic, annotated nanoparticle images from non-annotated real microscopy images. This approach reduces the need for manual intervention and enhances segmentation performance compared to existing synthetic data methods by generating diverse and realistic data. Tested on multiple ion and electron microscopy cases, including titanium dioxide (TiO$_2$), silicon dioxide (SiO$_2$)), and silver nanowires (AgNW), DiffRenderGAN bridges the gap between synthetic and real data, advancing the quantification and understanding of complex nanomaterial systems.
