Lightweight Encoder-Decoder Architecture for Foot Ulcer Segmentation [PDF]

Frontiers of Computer Vision. IW-FCV 2022. Communications in Computer and Information Science, vol 1578. Springer, Cham (2022), 2022
Continuous monitoring of foot ulcer healing is needed to ensure the efficacy of a given treatment and to avoid any possibility of deterioration. Foot ulcer segmentation is an essential step in wound diagnosis. We developed a model that is similar in spirit to the well-established encoder-decoder and residual convolution neural networks.
