Abstract
Methods, systems, and media for segmenting images are provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises: generating an aggregate U-Net comprised of a plurality of U-Nets, wherein each U-Net in the plurality of U-Nets has a different depth, wherein each U-Net is comprised of a plurality of nodes X, wherein i indicates a down-sampling layer the U-Net, and wherein j indicates a convolution layer of the U-Net; training the aggregate U-Net by: for each training sample in a group of training samples, calculating, for each node in the plurality of nodes X, a feature map x, wherein xis based on a convolution operation performed on a down-sampling of an output from Xwhen j=0, and wherein xis based on a convolution operation performed on an up-sampling operation of an output from Xwhen j>0; and predicting a segmentation of a test image using the trained aggregate U-Net.
