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

Abstract

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.
