ConvNeXt-FD: A Fractal-Based Deep Model for Robust Biomedical Image Segmentation
Researchers have developed ConvNeXt-FD, a new deep learning model for segmenting biomedical images. This model utilizes a U-Net-like structure with a ConvNeXt backbone and incorporates a novel loss function that includes a boundary-aware regularization term based on fractal dimension. Experiments on six diverse datasets showed that ConvNeXt-FD, especially when pre-trained on ImageNet, outperforms existing methods in accuracy and boundary detection. AI
