Title
Regularize Network Skip Connections by Gating Mechanisms for Electron Microscopy Image Segmentation
Abstract
Recently, one earliest skip connected networks named Lmser was revisited and its convolutional layer based version named CLmser was proposed. This paper studies CLmser for segmentation (shortly CLmser-S) of Electron Microscopy (EM) images and also one further development. First, we experimentally show that CLmser-S outperforms the popular U-Net and save many free parameters. Second, we combine one newest formulation named Flexible Lmser (F-Lmser) and CLmser-S into a version called F-CLmser-S, together with learned masks replacing the similarity based one used in F-Lmser for implementing fast-lane skip connections. Experimental results on the ISBI 2012 EM dataset show that F-CLmser-S improves CLmser and achieves competitive performance with state-of-the-art results.
