Abstract

Despite the great success, deep learning based segmentation methods still face a critical obstacle: the difficulty in acquiring sufficient training data due to high annotation costs. In this paper, we propose a deep active learning framework that combines the attention gated fully convolutional network (ag-FCN) and the distribution discrepancy based active learning algorithm (dd-AL) to significantly reduce the annotation effort by iteratively annotating the most informative samples to train the ag-FCN for the better segmentation performance. Our framework is evaluated on 2015 MICCAI Gland Segmentaion dataset and 2017 MICCAI 6-month infant brain MRI Segmentation dataset. Experiment results show that our framework can achieve state-of-the-art segmentation performance by using only a portion of the training data.
