Deep Learning with Anatomical Priors: Imitating Enhanced Autoencoders in Latent Space for Improved Pelvic Bone Segmentation in MRI [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
We propose a 2D Encoder-Decoder based deep learning architecture for semantic segmentation, that incorporates anatomical priors by imitating the encoder component of an autoencoder in latent space. The autoencoder is additionally enhanced by means of hierarchical features, extracted by an U-Net module. Our suggested architecture is trained in an end-to-
