Popis
Shrnutí:To accurately diagnose pneumonia patients on a limited annotated chest X-ray image dataset, a prior knowledge-based active attention network (PKA 2 -Net 1 ) was constructed. The PKA 2 -Net uses improved ResNet as the backbone network and consists of residual blocks, novel subject enhancement and background suppression (SEBS) blocks and candidate template generators, where template generators are designed to generate candidate templates for characterizing the importance of different spatial locations in feature maps. The core of PKA 2 -Net is SEBS block, which is proposed based on the prior knowledge that highlighting distinctive features and suppressing irrelevant features can improve the recognition effect. The purpose of SEBS block is to generate active attention features without any high-level features and enhance the ability of the model to localize lung lesions. In SEBS block, first, a series of candidate templates T with different spatial energy distributions are generated and the controllability of the energy distribution in T enables active attention features to maintain the continuity and integrity of the feature space distributions. Second, Top- n templates are selected from T according to certain learning rules, which are then operated by a convolution layer for generating supervision information that can guide the inputs of SEBS block to form active attention features. We evaluated the PKA 2 -Net on the binary classification problem of identifying pneumonia and healthy controls on a dataset containing 5856 chest X-ray images (ChestXRay2017), the results showed that our method can achieve 97.63% accuracy and 0.9872 sensitivity.
