MODEL TRAINING USING FULLY AND PARTIALLY-ANNOTATED IMAGES

Abstract:

Methods and systems for training a model labeling two or more organic structures within an image. One method includes receiving a set of training images. The set of training images including a first plurality of images and a second plurality of images. Each of the first plurality of images including a label for each of the two or more organic structures and each of the second plurality of images including a label for only a subset of the two or more organic structures. The method further includes training the model using the first plurality of images, the second plurality of images, and a label merging function mapping a label from the first plurality of images to a label included in the second plurality of images.
