AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing unsupervised lesion detection methods suffer from performance degradation due to the presence of mislabeled abnormal images in the training set, particularly in chest X-ray images. This is caused by visual overlap between lesions and normal tissues and the influence of contaminated samples, resulting in insufficient detection accuracy.

Method used

An initial memory library is constructed and a greedy core set subsampling strategy is adopted to reduce redundancy. Combined with an axis projection module and a memory-based dynamic attention module, tainted features are pushed away from normal features through symmetric weighted contrastive loss, thereby improving the robustness of feature representation.

Benefits of technology

It improves the anomaly detection performance of chest X-ray images, increases the lesion recognition rate, reduces the risk of false negatives, and enhances the diagnostic accuracy of the model on real datasets.

Abstract

本发明涉及一种基于对抗污染感知的胸部X‑Ray图像病灶检测方法,属于图像处理与医学影像分析技术领域。所述方法首先通过预训练网络提取图像特征,并利用贪婪核心集采样构建一个更具代表性的核心内存库,以减少特征冗余。接着,设计轴投影模块以缓解预训练特征与医疗领域之间的差异,并采用基于记忆的动态注意力模块自适应地聚合近邻特征,形成鲁棒的正常特征表示。核心创新在于引入一种对称加权的对比损失函数,该函数能在训练过程中隐式地识别并将潜在的污染特征从正常特征分布中推离,从而增强模型对真实病灶的辨别能力。在测试阶段,通过计算待测图像特征与其重构的正常表示之间的偏差来生成异常分数。本发明有效提升了病灶检测的准确性与鲁棒性。
