The present disclosure detects lesions in different datasets using a semi-supervised domain adaptation manner with very few labeled target samples. Conventional approaches suffer due to domain-gap between source and target domain. Initially, the system receives an input image, and extracts a plurality of multi-scale feature maps from the input image. Further, a classification map is generated based on the plurality of multi-scale feature maps. Further, a 4D vector corresponding to each of a plurality of foreground pixels is computed. Further, an objectness score corresponding the plurality of foreground pixels is computed. After computing the objectness score, a centerness score is computed for each of the plurality of foreground pixels using a single centerness network. Further, an updated objectness score is computed for each of the plurality of foreground. Finally, a plurality of multi-sized lesions in the input image are detected using a trained few-shot adversarial lesion detector network.

Method and system for semi-supervised domain adaptation based universal lesion detection

State of the art deep network based Universal Lesion Detection (ULD) techniques inherently depend on large number of datasets for training the systems. Moreover, these system are specifically trained for lesion detection in organs of a Region of interest (RoI) of a body. Thus, requires retraining when the RoI varies. Embodiments herein disclose a method and system for domain knowledge augmented multi-head attention based robust universal lesion detection. The method utilizes minimal number of Computer Tomography (CT) scan slices to extract maximum information using organ agnostic HU windows and a convolution augmented attention module for a computationally efficient ULD with enhanced prediction performance.
