Wilson Fok - Processing Medical 3D Scans - An example of heart segmentation Wilson presented us his approach on the 2018 Atrial Segmentation Challenge based on ensemble of convolutional neural networks. Here are the slides of his talk, and the GitHub for the heart segmentation code. Abstract: Training an ensemble of convolutional neural networks requires much computational resources for a large set of high-resolution medical 3D scans because deep representation requires many parameters and layers.
