This diploma thesis describes and implements the design of a graph neural network usedfor 2D segmentation of neural structure. The first chapter of the thesis briefly introduces the problem of segmentation. In this chapter, segmentation techniques are divided according to the principles of the methods they use. Each type of technique contains the essence of this category as well as a description of one representative. The second chapter of the diploma thesis explains graph neural networks (GNN for short). Here, the thesis divides graph neural networks in general and describes recurrent graph neural networks(RGNN for short) and graph autoencoders, that can be used for image segmentation, in more detail. The specific image segmentation solution is based on the message passing method in RGNN, which can replace convolution masks in convolutional neural networks.RGNN also provides a simpler multilayer perceptron topology. The second type of graph neural networks characterised in the thesis are graph autoencoders, which use various methods for better encoding of graph vertices into Euclidean space. The last part ofthe diploma thesis deals with the analysis of the problem, the proposal of its specific solution and the evaluation of results. The purpose of the practical part of the work was the implementation of GNN for image data segmentation. The advantage of using neural networks is the ability to solve different types of segmentation by changing training data. RGNN with messaging passing and node2vec were used as implementation GNNf or segmentation problem. RGNN training was performed on graphics cards provided bythe school and Google Colaboratory. Learning RGNN using node2vec was very memory intensive and therefore it was necessary to train on a processor with an operating memory larger than 12GB. As part of the RGNN optimization, learning was tested using various loss functions, changing topology and learning parameters. A tree structure method was developed to use node2vec to improve segmentation, but the results did not confirman improvement for a small number of iterations. The best outcomes of the practical implementation were evaluated by comparing the tested data with the convolutional neural network U-Net. It is possible to state comparable results to the U-Net network, but further testing is needed to compare these neural networks. The result of the thesisis the use of RGNN as a modern solution to the problem of image segmentation and providing a foundation for further research.
