Automatic airway segmentation from chest computed tomography (CT) scans plays an important role in pulmonary disease diagnosis and computer-assisted therapy. However, low contrast at peripheral branches and complex tree-like structures remain as two mainly challenges for airway segmentation. Recent research has illustrated that deep learning methods perform well in segmentation tasks. Motivated by these works, a coarse-to-fine segmentation framework is proposed to obtain a complete airway tree. Our framework segments the overall airway and small branches via the multi-information fusion convolution neural network (Mif-CNN) and the CNN-based region growing, respectively. In Mif-CNN, atrous spatial pyramid pooling (ASPP) is integrated into a u-shaped network, and it can expend the receptive field and capture multi-scale information. Meanwhile, boundary and location information are incorporated into semantic information. These information are fused to help Mif-CNN utilize additional context knowledge and useful features. To improve the performance of the segmentation result, the CNN-based region growing method is designed to focus on obtaining small branches. A voxel classification network (VCN), which can entirely capture the rich information around each voxel, is applied to classify the voxels into airway and non-airway. In addition, a shape reconstruction method is used to refine the airway tree.
