ABSTRACT Semantic segmentation neural networks require pixel-level annotations in large quantities to achieve a good performance. In the medical domain, such annotations are expensive because they are time-consuming and require expert knowledge. Active learning optimizes the annotation effort by devising strategies to select cases for labeling that are the most informative to the model. In this work, we propose an uncertainty slice sampling (USS) strategy for the semantic segmentation of 3D medical volumes that selects 2D image slices for annotation and we compare TI - Robust Segmentation Models Using an Uncertainty Slice Sampling-Based Annotation Workflow JF - IEEE Access DO - 10.1109/access.2022.3141021 DA - 2022-01-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/robust-segmentation-models-using-an-uncertainty-slice-sampling-based-D94ciiU60s DP - DeepDyve ER -
