• Authors: Jiao Ding, Jie Chang, Renrui Han, Li Yang
• Abstract summary: CDSE-UNet is a novel UNet-based segmentation model that integrates Canny operator edge detection and a dual-path SENet feature fusion mechanism. We have developed a Multiscale Convolution approach, replacing the standard Convolution in UNet, to adapt to the varied lesion sizes and shapes. Our evaluations on public datasets demonstrate CDSE-UNet's superior performance over other leading models.

• Abstract: Accurate segmentation of COVID-19 CT images is crucial for reducing the severity and mortality rates associated with COVID-19 infections. In response to blurred boundaries and high variability characteristic of lesion areas in COVID-19 CT images, we introduce CDSE-UNet: a novel UNet-based segmentation model that integrates Canny operator edge detection and a dual-path SENet feature fusion mechanism. This model enhances the standard UNet architecture by employing the Canny operator for edge detection in sample images, paralleling this with a similar network structure for semantic feature extraction. A key innovation is the Double SENet Feature Fusion Block, applied across corresponding network layers to effectively combine features from both image paths. Moreover, we have developed a Multiscale Convolution approach, replacing the standard Convolution in UNet, to adapt to the varied lesion sizes and shapes. This addition not only aids in accurately classifying lesion edge pixels but also significantly improves channel differentiation and expands the capacity of the model. Our evaluations on public datasets demonstrate CDSE-UNet's superior performance over other leading models, particularly in segmenting large and small lesion areas, accurately delineating lesion edges, and effectively suppressing noise

  This work proposes a two-stage deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) based framework for delineation of COVID-19 infected regions in Lung CT images. In the first stage, COVID-19 specific CT image features are enhanced using a two-level discrete wavelet transformation. These enhanced CT images are then classified using the proposed custom-made deep CoV-CTNet. In the second stage, the CT images classified as infectious images are provided to the segmentation models for the identification and analysis of COVID-19 infectious regions.
