Query: Segmentation of Skin Lesions and their Attributes Using Multi-Scale
  Convolutional Neural Networks and Domain Specific Augmentations   Computer-aided diagnosis systems for classification of different type of skin
lesions have been an active field of research in recent decades. It has been
shown that introducing lesions and their attributes masks into lesion
classification pipeline can greatly improve the performance. In this paper, we
propose a framework by incorporating transfer learning for segmenting lesions
and their attributes based on the convolutional neural networks. The proposed
framework is based on the encoder-decoder architecture which utilizes a variety
of pre-trained networks in the encoding path and generates the prediction map
by combining multi-scale information in decoding path using a pyramid pooling
manner. To address the lack of training data and increase the proposed model
generalization, an extensive set of novel domain-specific augmentation routines
have been applied to simulate the real variations in dermoscopy images.
Finally, by performing broad experiments on three different data sets obtained
from International Skin Imaging Collaboration archive (ISIC2016, ISIC2017, and
ISIC2018 challenges data sets), we show that the proposed method outperforms
other state-of-the-art approaches for ISIC2016 and ISIC2017 segmentation task
and achieved the first rank on the leader-board of ISIC2018 attribute detection
task.
