An image-based segmentation recommender using crowdsourcing and transfer learning for skin lesion extraction

作者:

Highlights:

• A segmentation recommender based on crowdsourcing and transfer learning.

• Two pre-trained architectures (VGG16 and ResNet50) were studied.

• The method predicts dynamically the most appropriate segmenter for any input image.

• Creation of new ground -truth dataset by using the ISIC2017 segmentation results.

• Proposed image-based method improves the performance of skin lesion segmentation.
