Our model is based on atrous\nconvolutional layers to increase the field-of-view of filters efficiently. To\nimprove segmentation performances further, we also propose a multi-stage\ntraining strategy, network-wise training, which the current stage network is\nfed with both input images and the outputs from pre-stage network. It is shown\nthat this strategy has an ability to reduce falsely predicted labels and\nproduce smooth boundaries of lung fields. We evaluate the proposed model on a\ncommon benchmark dataset, JSRT, and achieve the state-of-the-art segmentation\nperformances with much fewer model parameters.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1708.00710v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1708.00710v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"accurate-lung-segmentation-via-network-wise","repo_url":"https://github.com/IlliaOvcharenko/lung-segmentation","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":{"status":"unanswered"}},{"paper_slug":"accurate-lung-segmentation-via-network-wise","repo_url":"https://github.com/trupewate/lung_segmentation_tutorial","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"segmentation","task_name":"Segmentation"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
