Optimized DeepLabV3+ for Clinical Data Analysis through Advanced Particle Swarm Optimization‐Based Channel Selection

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A novel medical image segmentation framework that integrates an enhanced Particle Swarm Optimization (EE‐PSO) into DeepLabV3+ to optimize feature selection. By dynamically identifying key channels in the atrous spatial pyramid pooling module, the method improves segmentation performance, achieving mIoU gains of 2.7% on Alzheimer's and 2.8% on brain ...
