Abstract

The size of image stacks in connectomics studies now reaches the terabyte and often petabyte scales with a great diversity of appearance across brain regions and samples. However, manual annotation of neural structures, e.g., synapses, is time-consuming, which leads to limited training data often smaller than 0.001% of the test data in size. Domain adaptation and generalization approaches were proposed to address similar issues for natural images, which were less evaluated on connectomics data due to a lack of out-of-domain benchmarks.
