Title
SCPM-Net: An anchor-free 3D lung nodule detection network using sphere representation and center points matching
Abstract
•A novel anchor-free detection framework for lung nodule detection in 3D images.•A novel sphere-based intersection-over-union loss function, which optimizes the detector by minimizing many geometric metrics directly.•A novel center point matching strategy to reduce the false positive and increase the sensitivity.•Our anchor-free detection framework achieved state-of-the-art performance on the public LUNA16 dataset.
