MixModule: Mixed CNN Kernel Module for Medical Image Segmentation

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been successfully applied to medical image classification, segmentation, and related tasks. Among the many CNNs architectures, U-Net and its improved versions based are widely used and achieve state-of-the-art performance these years. These improved architectures focus on structural improvements and the size of the convolution kernel is generally fixed. In this paper, we propose a module that combines the benefits of multiple kernel sizes and apply it to U-Net its variants. We test our module on three segmentation benchmark datasets and experimental results show significant improvement.

GetNet: Get Target Area for Image Pairing

Image pairing is an important research task in the field of computer vision. And finding image pairs containing objects of the same category is the basis of many tasks such as tracking and person re-identification, etc., and it is also the focus of our research. Existing traditional methods and deep learning-based methods have some degree of defects in speed or accuracy. In this paper, we made improvements on the Siamese network and proposed GetNet. The proposed method GetNet combines STN and Siamese network to get the target area first and then perform subsequent processing. Experiments show that our method achieves competitive results in speed and accuracy.
