CNNs rely on pixel intensity over texture for vascular imaging

A new research paper explores how Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) interpret visual information for vascular segmentation in microscopy and fundus imaging. The study found that pixel intensity is more crucial than texture for these networks, and they maintain significant accuracy even when texture and intensity cues are degraded. CNNs also demonstrated a limited ability to infer complete vessel geometry from shape alone, relying on a receptive field of approximately 20 pixels, with global context offering a minor advantage for fundus images.
