Abstract
A generative network is used for lung lobe segmentation or lung fissure localization, or for training a machine network for lobar segmentation or localization. For segmentation, deep learning is used to better deal with a sparse sampling of training data. To increase the amount of training data available, an image-to-image or generative network localizes fissures in at least some of the samples. The deep-learnt network, fissure localization, or other segmentation may benefit from generative localization of fissures.
