基于生物仿生深度学习方法的胎儿超声图像分类
摘要
准确分类第二孕期胎儿超声图像仍具有挑战性,由于图像质量较差、较大的类内变异性和显著的类别不平衡。在本工作中,我们引入了一个简单而强大的、生物仿生的深度学习集成框架——不同于先前仅关注少数解剖目标的研究,同时区分16种胎儿结构。drawing on the hierarchical, modular organization of biological vision systems, our model stacks two complementary branches (a "shallow" path for coarse, low-resolution cues and a "detailed" path for fine, high-resolution features), concatenating their outputs for final prediction. To our knowledge, no existing method has addressed such a large number of classes with a comparably lightweight architecture. We trained and evaluated on 5,298 routinely acquired clinical images (annotated by three experts and reconciled via Dawid-Skene), reflecting real-world noise and variability rather than a "cleaned" dataset. Despite this complexity, our ensemble (EfficientNet-B0 + EfficientNet-B6 with LDAM-Focal loss) identifies 90% of organs with accuracy > 0.75 and 75% of organs with accuracy > 0.85-performance competitive with more elaborate models applied to far fewer categories. These results demonstrate that biologically inspired modular stacking can yield robust, scalable fetal anatomy recognition in challenging clinical settings.
