• Abstract summary: This research conducts an investigation on the effect of visually similar images within a publicly available diabetic foot ulcer dataset when training deep learning classification networks. The presence of binary-identical duplicate images in datasets used to train deep learning algorithms can introduce unwanted bias which can degrade network performance. We use an open-source fuzzy algorithm to identify groups of increasingly similar images in the Diabetic Foot Ulcers Challenge 2021 training dataset.

• Abstract: This research conducts an investigation on the effect of visually similar images within a publicly available diabetic foot ulcer dataset when training deep learning classification networks. The presence of binary-identical duplicate images in datasets used to train deep learning algorithms is a well known issue that can introduce unwanted bias which can degrade network performance. However, the effect of visually similar non-identical images is an under-researched topic, and has so far not been investigated in any diabetic foot ulcer studies. We use an open-source fuzzy algorithm to identify groups of increasingly similar images in the Diabetic Foot Ulcers Challenge 2021 (DFUC2021) training dataset. Based on each similarity threshold, we create new training sets that we use to train a range of deep learning multi-class classifiers. We then evaluate the performance of the best performing model on the DFUC2021 test set. Our findings show that the model trained on the training set with the 80\% similarity threshold images removed achieved the best performance using the InceptionResNetV2 network. This model showed improvements in F1-score, precision, and recall of 0.023, 0.029, and 0.013, respectively. These results indicate that highly similar images can contribute towards the presence of performance degrading bias within the Diabetic Foot Ulcers Challenge 2021 dataset, and that the removal of images that are 80\% similar from the training set can help to boost classification performance.

  We study the dependence of the GAN-based augmentation performance on dataset size with a focus on small samples. We train StyleGAN2-ADA with both sets and then, after validating the quality of generated images, we use trained GANs as one of the augmentations approaches in multi-class classification problems. The GAN-based augmentation approach is found to be comparable with classical augmentation in the case of medium and large datasets but underperforms in the case of smaller datasets.

Based on the weights of the pre-trained model, the Earth Mover's Distance algorithm calculates the distance between the images, obtains the similarity between the images, and changes the model's parameters to improve the accuracy of the training model.
