A weakly-supervised follicle segmentation method in ultrasound images by Guanyu Liu, Weihong Huang, Yanping Li, Qiong Zhang, Jing Fu, Hongying Tang, Jia Huang, Zhongteng Zhang, Lei Zhang, Yu Wang, Jianzhong Hu

“…We propose the Weakly Supervised Follicle Segmentation (WSFS) method, a novel one-stage weakly supervised segmentation technique model designed to enhance the ultrasound images of follicles, which incorporates a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) backbone augmented with a Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) module for multi-scale feature representation, critical for capturing the diverse sizes and shapes of follicles. By leveraging Multiple Instance Learning (MIL), we formulated the learning process in a weakly supervised manner and developed an end-to-end trainable model that efficiently addresses the issue of annotation scarcity. …”
