DC-UNet: Rethinking the U-Net Architecture with Dual Channel Efficient CNN for Medical Images Segmentation

This repository contains the implementation of a new version U-Net (DC-UNet) used to segment different types of biomedical images. This is a binary classification task: the neural network predicts if each pixel in the biomedical images is either a region of interests (ROI) or not. The neural network structure is described in this

paper.

🔥 NEWS 🔥 The pytorch version is available pytorch-version.

Architecture of DC-UNet

Dataset

In this project, we test three datasets:

• Infrared Breast Dataset
• Endoscopy (CVC-ClinicDB)
• Electron Microscopy (ISBI-2012)

Usage

Prerequisities

The following dependencies are needed:

• Kearas == 2.2.4
• Opencv == 3.3.1
• Tensorflow == 1.10.0
• Matplotlib == 3.1.3
• Numpy == 1.19.1

training

You can download the datasets you want to try, and just run:
