Multi tasks RetinaNet for mitosis detection
share
The account of mitotic cells is a key feature in tumor diagnosis. However, due to the variability of mitotic cell morphology, it is a highly challenging task to detect mitotic cells in tumor tissues. At the same time, although advanced deep learning method have achieved great success in cell detection, the performance is often unsatisfactory when tested data from another domain (i.e. the different tumor types and different scanners). Therefore, it is necessary to develop algorithms for detecting mitotic cells with robustness in domain shifts scenarios. Our work further proposes a foreground detection and tumor classification task based on the baseline(Retinanet), and utilizes data augmentation to improve the domain generalization performance of our model. We achieve the state-of-the-art performance (F1 score: 0.5809) on the challenging premilary test dataset.
