UIU-Net: U-Net in U-Net for Infrared Small Object Detection [PDF]
Learning-based infrared small object detection methods currently rely heavily on the classification backbone network. This tends to result in tiny object loss and feature distinguishability limitations as the network depth increases. Furthermore, small objects in infrared images are frequently emerged bright and dark, posing severe demands for ...

In neural networks, the property of being equivariant to transformations improves generalization when the corresponding symmetry is present in the data. In particular, scale-equivariant networks are suited to computer vision tasks where the same classes of objects appear at different scales, like in most semantic segmentation tasks.

Enhanced glioma semantic segmentation using U-net and pre-trained backbone U-net architectures [PDF]
Gliomas are known to have different sub-regions within the tumor, including the edema, necrotic, and active tumor regions. Segmenting of these regions is very important for glioma treatment decisions and management.
