Official Pytorch Code for the paper "KiU-Net: Towards Accurate Segmentation of Biomedical Images using Over-complete Representations" , presented at MICCAI 2020 and its
Journal Extension: "KiU-Net: Overcomplete Convolutional Architectures for Biomedical Image and Volumetric Segmentation" (Under Review)
This repo hosts the code for the following networks:
- KiU-Net 2D
- KiU-Net 3D
- Res-KiU-Net
- Dense-KiU-Net
It also has dataloaders organized for generic 2D image segmentation and 3D volumetric segmentation for BraTS, LiTS dataset; for easy benchmarking of medical image and volumetric segmentation algorithms.
In a generic "encoder-decoder" architecture , the initial few blocks of the encoder learn low-level features of the data while the later blocks learn the high-level features. Eventually, the encoder learns to map the data to lower dimensionality (in the spatial sense). The increasing receptive field size over the depth of the network, constrains the network to focus more on the higher-level features. In our proposed architecture , we introduce Ki-Net where we use overcomplete representations which constraints the receptive field from increasing. This is done by a simple change in the architecture of encoder where max-pooling is replaced by up-sampling. This helps the filters in deep layers focus more on the low-level details helping in fine segmentation. This network, when augmented with U-Net is termed as KiU-Net which results in significant improvements in the case of segmenting small anatomical landmarks and blurred noisy boundaries while obtaining better overall performance. More details can be found in the paper.

Prepare the dataset in the following format for easy use of the code. The train and test folders should contain two subfolders each: img and label. Make sure the images their corresponding segmentation masks are placed under these folders and have the same name for easy correspondance. Please change the data loaders to your need if you prefer not preparing the dataset in this format.

This code is written for binary segmentation of an grayscale image. For using RGB images, just change the number of channels in the first and last layers in kiunet class found in
arch/ae.py
. For using KiU-Net for segmentation of more than one class, change the number of channels in the softmax layer in kiunet class found inarch/ae.py
. The code is written for images of dimenstions 128x128. Either resize your images to the exact dimension for using the code directly or make changes in the ratios in interpolation functions accordingly in case of using dimensions which are not powers of 2. -
The ground truth images should have pixels corresponding to the labels. Example: In case of binary segmentation, the pixels in the GT should be 0 or 1.
python train.py --train_dataset "enter train directory" --val_dataset "enter validation directory" --direc 'path for results to be saved' --batch_size 1 --epoch 400 --save_freq 10 --modelname "kiunet" --learning_rate 0.0001
Change modelname to kiunet3d, reskiunet or densekiunet to train those architectures
python test.py --loaddirec "./saved_model_path/model_name.pth" --val_dataset "test dataset directory" --direc 'path for results to be saved' --batch_size 1 --modelname "kiunet"
The results including predicted segmentations maps will be placed in the results folder along with the model weights. Run the performance metrics code in MATLAB for calculating DICE Coefficient and Jaccard Index.
The model file of KiU-Net 3D can be found at arch/ae.py

Check out readme in "BRATS/" folder for details on training KiU-Net 3D for BraTS dataset.
Check out readme in "LiTS/" folder for details on training KiU-Net 3D for LiTS dataset.
The dataloader code is inspired from pytorch-UNet , BraTS 2018 dataloader and LiTS dataloader.
