The Power of Certainty: How Confident Models Lead to Better Segmentation

arXiv

The paper introduces a self-distillation method that uses model uncertainty to enhance polyp segmentation, guiding the network to produce more reliable and consistent predictions.

PlutoNet: An Efficient Polyp Segmentation Network with Modified Partial Decoder and Decoder Consistency Training

Healthcare Technology Letters

PlutoNet is a lightweight polyp segmentation model that uses a novel decoder consistency training with a shared encoder, modified partial decoder, and auxiliary decoder to efficiently capture multi-scale and semantic features, achieving superior performance with far fewer parameters than state-of-the-art models.
