U-Net has been the go-to architecture for medical image segmentation tasks, however computational challenges arise when extending the U-Net architecture to 3D images. We propose the Implicit U-Net architecture that adapts the efficient Implicit Representation paradigm to supervised image segmentation tasks. By combining a convolutional feature extractor with an implicit localization network, our implicit U-Net has 40 Moreover, we propose training and inference procedures to capitalize sparse predictions. When comparing to an equivalent fully convolutional U-Net, Implicit U-Net reduces by approximately 30 as training memory footprint while achieving comparable results in our experiments with two different abdominal CT scan datasets.
