Automated species-level identification of planktic foraminifera using convolutional neural networks, with comparison to human performance

MARINE MICROPALEONTOLOGY, 147, 16–24.

By: R. Mitra*, T. Marchitto *, Q. Ge n, B. Zhong n , B. Kanakiya n, M. Cook *, J. Fehrenbacher *, J. Ortiz *, A. Tripati *, E. Lobaton n 

author keywords: Foraminifera; Identification; Automation; Artificial intelligence; Neural network
TL;DR: Using machine learning techniques to train convolutional neural networks to identify six species of extant planktic foraminifera that are widely used by paleoceanographers, and to distinguish the six species from other taxa, demonstrates that the approach can provide a versatile ‘brain’ for an eventual automated robotic picking system.

Coarse-to-fine Foraminifera image segmentation through 3d and deep features

Coarse-to-fine foraminifera image segmentation through 3D and deep features. 2017 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (SSCI).

By: Q. Ge n, B. Zhong n , B. Kanakiya n, R. Mitra*, T. Marchitto * & E. Lobaton n 

TL;DR: A learning-based edge detection pipeline is proposed, using a coarse-to-fine strategy, to extract the vague edges from foraminifera images for segmentation using a relatively small training set and has the potential to provide useful features for species identification and other applications such as morphological study of foraminifa shells and foraminifiera dataset labeling.
