Skin lesion segmentation using fully convolutional networks: A comparative experimental study

作者:

Highlights:

• A comparative study of lesion segmentation is shown by fully convolutional networks.

• FCN-AlexNet, FCN-8s, FCN-16s, and FCN-32s are applied on ISIC’17 for the first time.

• The Dice coefficients are proposed to compare successes of the used architectures.

• Detailed analysis on the success of the models is provided.

• The study has significant insights and can benefit researchers in future works.
