Как сравниваются изображения — от MSE до Dino

Моя страсть к накопительству картинок зародилась еще в эпоху диалапа, когда каждый JPEG проявлялся построчно под писк и скрежет модема, а бэкап стянутых с BBS цифровых сокровищ на дискету напоминал ритуал. С тех пор куча скарба разрослась до масштабов домашнего дата‑центра: здесь доисторические смишные мемы, тонны диснеевского клипарта, сканы журналов, галереи фанарта от известных в узких кругах артоделов, масса неотсортированного фототреша из собственных поездок, картинки природы и красоток, порция клубнички, шедевры CGI, нейроарт и фотографии Элизабет Уинстон. Проблема в том, что весь этот терабайтный зоопарк из разных разрешений, битности и форматов — абсолютно неструктурированная свалка, и попытка найти нужное превращается в квест «убей свои выходные». По мере роста коллекции я пробовал подряд все костыли, которые лучшие умы изобретали для сравнения изображений. В этой статье я пройдусь по эволюционной цепочке: от одноклеточных хэш‑сумм до венца творения — свежесобранного монстра DINOv3. Объять необъятное не выйдет — по каждому методу сравнения можно катать лонгрид иллюстрациями и с примерами кода (что, возможно, и сделаю, если меня не закидают жжёными тряпками). Но сейчас попробую изложить суть: как метод устроен, когда он тащит, а когда выдает откровенный бред. Поехали

Scam alert: Someone tried to catfish me using JH’s profile pic and a bogus account. They were promising a Christmas bonus (which would be very lovely). #sift saved me (this time). Confirmed with JH via another channel, screen-shotted the conversation (name redacted) and reported the matter to mastodon.social.

As A.W. Ohlheiser recently wrote in @Vox, the SIFT method, developed by digital literacy expert and CIP research scientist @mikecaulfield, "is a good framework for learning how to evaluate emotionally charged or outrage-inducing online posts in the middle of an unfolding crisis."

Any math person here willing to review my heavy-math thesis chapter? It is around ~7000 words, beyond my supervisors' expertise, and I need to submit by March so he/she/they needs to have a lot of free time this February 🙃

I have nothing except I owe you one.

Just released my latest project #SIFTMetal - a Metal implementation of the #SIFT algorithm for image processing. Perfect for use in mobile and Apple platforms. Check it out on GitHub and let me know what you think! #ComputerVision #Swift #OpenSource

https://github.com/lukevanin/SIFTMetal

#introduction To fill in my profile tags, a thread:

#TrakEM2 open source software mostly for #connectomics, and supports manual and automatically montaging and aligning overlapping 2D image tiles (with #SIFT features and rigid or elastic transformation models), and reconstructing by painting volumes or tracing branched neuronal arbors neurons plus synapses to map a #connectome from #vEM (volume electron microscopy).

See: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0038011

Git repository at: https://github.com/trakem2/

Anyone else sift out the #Dehydrated bits from their #MrNoodleCup ? It always grossed me out if I don’t haha. #sift #lunch

Now onto #FijiSc: Fiji is a recursive acronym meaning "Fiji is just ImageJ" https://fji.sc (and the paper https://www.nature.com/articles/nmeth.2019 ) –and #ImageJ is a #java open source software for image processing https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/index.html written by Wayne Rasband from the #NIH Research Branch.

An analogy: think of ImageJ as the kernel and Fiji as the rest of the operating system.

#FijiSc brings to #ImageJ:
(1) a package manager to install and update plugins, and that crucially enables reproducible science by exporting the whole set of plugins and libraries as an executable;
(2) a Script Editor https://imagej.net/scripting/script-editor supporting many languages (#python, #groovy #ruby #scala #clojure and more), all with access to a huge collection of #JVM libraries;
(3) huge amount of libraries such as #ImgLib2, #JFreeChart for plotting, for GUIs, etc.

There are many, many plugins. A tiny sample:

Machine learning-based image segmentation:
- #LabKit https://imagej.net/plugins/labkit/
- #WEKA Trainable Segmentation https://imagej.net/plugins/tws/index

3D/4D/ND Visualization:
- 3D/4D Viewer #3DViewer https://imagej.net/plugins/3d-viewer/index with ray-tracing, orthoslices, volume rendering, and more
- #BigDataViewer #BDV https://imagej.net/plugins/bdv/index for interactively navigate N-dimensional image volumes larger than RAM

Image registration and serial section alignment:
- #BigStitcher for registering 3D/4D tiled datasets, with multiview deconvolution and more https://imagej.net/plugins/bigstitcher/index
- #TrakEM2 for montaging in 2D and alinging in 3D collections of serial sections, typically from #vEM (volume electron microscopy) https://syn.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/acardona/INI-2008-2011/trakem2.html
- #mpicbg libraries for extracting #SIFT and #MOPS features, then finding feature correspondences and estimating rigid and elastic transformation models https://www.nature.com/articles/nmeth.2072

Summarizing #FijiSc is impossible. See the online forum where questions find answers by the hand of the broader community of users and developers https://forum.image.sc/

To fill in my profile tags, a thread:

#TrakEM2 is open source software mostly for #connectomics (but found uses well beyond), and provides the means for both manual and automatic montaging and aligning overlapping 2D image tiles (with #SIFT features and rigid or elastic transformation models), and then reconstructing with mostly manual means–by painting with a digital brush–the volumes of structures of interest, as well as trace the branched arbors of e.g., neurons and annotate their synapses, therefore mapping a #connectome from #vEM (volume electron microscopy).

#TrakEM2 paper at https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0038011

Git repository at https://github.com/trakem2/

For 3D visualization, #TrakEM2 uses the 3D Viewer https://imagej.net/plugins/3d-viewer/

As software, #TrakEM2 runs as a plugin of #FijiSc https://fiji.sc/ and in fact motivated the creation of the #FijiSc software in the first place, to manage its many dependencies and therefore facilitate distribution to the broader #neuroscience community.

#TrakEM2 was founded in 2005, when terabyte-sized datasets were rare and considered large. The largest dataset that I've successfully managed with #TrakEM2 was about 16 TB. For larger datasets, see #CATMAID below.
