Compression is a standard procedure for making convolutional neural networks (CNNs) adhere to some specific computing resource constraints. However, searching for a compressed architecture typically involves a series of time-consuming training/validation experiments to determine a good compromise between network size and performance accuracy. To address this, we propose an image complexity-guided network compression technique for biomedical image segmentation. Given any resource constraints, our framework utilizes data complexity and network architecture to quickly estimate a compressed model which does not require network training. Specifically, we map the dataset complexity to the target network accuracy degradation caused by compression. Such mapping enables us to predict the final accuracy for different network sizes, based on the computed dataset complexity. Thus, one may choose a solution that meets both the network size and segmentation accuracy requirements. Finally, the mapping is used to determine the convolutional layer-wise multiplicative factor for generating a compressed network. We conduct experiments using 5 datasets, employing 3 commonly-used CNN architectures for biomedical image segmentation as representative networks. Our proposed framework is shown to be effective for generating compressed segmentation networks, retaining up to $approx 95%$ of the full-sized network segmentation accuracy, and at the same time, utilizing $approx 32x$ fewer network trainable weights (average reduction) of the full-sized networks.

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for biomedical image analysis are often of very large size, resulting in high memory requirement and high latency of operations. Searching for an acceptable compressed representation of the base CNN for a specific
imaging application typically involves a series of time-consuming training/validation experiments to achieve a good compromise between network size and accuracy. To address this challenge, we propose CC-Net, a new image complexity-guided CNN compression scheme for biomedical image segmentation. Given a CNN model, CC-Net predicts the final accuracy of networks of different sizes based on the average image complexity computed from the training data. It then selects a multiplicative factor for producing a desired network with acceptable network accuracy and size. Experiments show that CC-Net is effective for generating compressed segmentation networks, retaining up to 95% of the base network segmentation accuracy and utilizing only 0.1% of trainable parameters of the full-sized networks in the best case.
Learning structural information is critical for producing an ideal result in retinal image segmentation. Recently, convolutional neural networks have shown a powerful ability to extract effective representations. However, convolutional and pooling op
erations filter out some useful structural information. In this paper, we propose an Attention Guided Network (AG-Net) to preserve the structural information and guide the expanding operation. In our AG-Net, the guided filter is exploited as a structure sensitive expanding path to transfer structural information from previous feature maps, and an attention block is introduced to exclude the noise and reduce the negative influence of background further. The extensive experiments on two retinal image segmentation tasks (i.e., blood vessel segmentation, optic disc and cup segmentation) demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method.
Our work expands the use of capsule networks to the task of object segmentation for the first time in the literature. This is made possible via the introduction of locally-constrained routing and transformation matrix sharing, which reduces the param
eter/memory burden and allows for the segmentation of objects at large resolutions. To compensate for the loss of global information in constraining the routing, we propose the concept of deconvolutional capsules to create a deep encoder-decoder style network, called SegCaps. We extend the masked reconstruction regularization to the task of segmentation and perform thorough ablation experiments on each component of our method. The proposed convolutional-deconvolutional capsule network, SegCaps, shows state-of-the-art results while using a fraction of the parameters of popular segmentation networks. To validate our proposed method, we perform experiments segmenting pathological lungs from clinical and pre-clinical thoracic computed tomography (CT) scans and segmenting muscle and adipose (fat) tissue from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of human subjects thighs. Notably, our experiments in lung segmentation represent the largest-scale study in pathological lung segmentation in the literature, where we conduct experiments across five extremely challenging datasets, containing both clinical and pre-clinical subjects, and nearly 2000 computed-tomography scans. Our newly developed segmentation platform outperforms other methods across all datasets while utilizing less than 5% of the parameters in the popular U-Net for biomedical image segmentation. Further, we demonstrate capsules ability to generalize to unseen rotations/reflections on natural images.
Despite the astonishing performance of deep-learning based approaches for visual tasks such as semantic segmentation, they are known to produce miscalibrated predictions, which could be harmful for critical decision-making processes. Ensemble learnin
g has shown to not only boost the performance of individual models but also reduce their miscalibration by averaging independent predictions. In this scenario, model diversity has become a key factor, which facilitates individual models converging to different functional solutions. In this work, we introduce Orthogonal Ensemble Networks (OEN), a novel framework to explicitly enforce model diversity by means of orthogonal constraints. The proposed method is based on the hypothesis that inducing orthogonality among the constituents of the ensemble will increase the overall model diversity. We resort to a new pairwise orthogonality constraint which can be used to regularize a sequential ensemble training process, resulting on improved predictive performance and better calibrated model outputs. We benchmark the proposed framework in two challenging brain lesion segmentation tasks --brain tumor and white matter hyper-intensity segmentation in MR images. The experimental results show that our approach produces more robust and well-calibrated ensemble models and can deal with challenging tasks in the context of biomedical image segmentation.
Methods based on convolutional neural networks have improved the performance of biomedical image segmentation. However, most of these methods cannot efficiently segment objects of variable sizes and train on small and biased datasets, which are commo
n in biomedical use cases. While methods exist that incorporate multi-scale fusion approaches to address the challenges arising with variable sizes, they usually use complex models that are more suitable for general semantic segmentation computer vision problems. In this paper, we propose a novel architecture called MSRF-Net, which is specially designed for medical image segmentation tasks. The proposed MSRF-Net is able to exchange multi-scale features of varying receptive fields using a dual-scale dense fusion block (DSDF). Our DSDF block can exchange information rigorously across two different resolution scales, and our MSRF sub-network uses multiple DSDF blocks in sequence to perform multi-scale fusion. This allows the preservation of resolution, improved information flow, and propagation of both high- and low-level features to obtain accurate segmentation maps. The proposed MSRF-Net allows to capture object variabilities and provides improved results on different biomedical datasets. Extensive experiments on MSRF-Net demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms most of the cutting-edge medical image segmentation state-of-the-art methods. MSRF-Net advances the performance on four publicly available datasets, and also, MSRF-Net is more generalizable as compared to state-of-the-art methods.
