Abstract
A method of training a neural network for detecting target features in images is described. The neural network is trained using a first data set that includes labeled images, where at least some of the labeled images having subjects with labeled features, including: dividing each of the labeled images of the first data set into a respective plurality of tiles, and generating, for each of the plurality of tiles, a plurality of feature anchors that indicate target features within the corresponding tile. Target features that correspond to the plurality of feature anchors are detected in a second data set of unlabeled images. Images of the second data set having target features that were not detected are labeled. A third data set that includes the first data set and the labeled images of the second data set is generated. The neural network is trained using the third data set.
