Abstract

In order to increase the segmentation impact of the Diabetic Foot Ulcer Challenge 2022 dataset, we train a selection of popular deep learning segmentation algorithms and improve training methods, such as adding Dice term to loss function, employing transfer learning and poly learning rate update strategy, etc., in this paper. Experiments show that our method is effective, we get a Dice score of 0.7045, which is better than the official baseline result of 0.6277. Moreover, we integrate the above segmentation models using four ensemble methods to evaluate segmentation performance, such as Averaging, Weighting, Voting, and Stacking. We observed that our proposed one-layer CNN stacking network exhibits superior segmentation performance (Dice score: 0.7142) compared to single CNN model and other three ensemble methods. Our performance surpasses the baseline result, placing us in the top 10 in the Diabetic Foot Ulcer Challenge 2022.
