Abstract
For semiconductor applications, billions of objects are manufactured for a single device such as a central processing unit (CPU), storage drive, or graphical processing unit (GPU). To obtain functional devices, each element of the device has to follow precise dimensional and physical specifications at the nanoscale. Generally, the pipeline consists to annotate an object in an image and then take the measurements of the object. Manually annotating images is extremely time-consuming. In this paper, we propose a robust and fast semi-automatic method to annotate an object in a microscopy image. The approach is a deep learning contour-based method able first to detect the object and after finding the contour thanks to a constraint loss function. This constraint follows the physical meaning of electron microscopy images. It improves the quality of boundary detail of the vertices of each object by matching the predicted vertices and most likely the contour. The loss is computed during training for each object using a proximal way of our dataset. The approach was tested on 3 different types of datasets. The experiments showed that our approaches can achieve state-of-the-art performance on several microscopy images dataset.
