Convolution Neural Networks for Semantic Segmentation: Application to Small Datasets of Biomedical Images

This thesis studies how the segmentation results, produced by convolutional neural networks (CNN), is different from each other when applied to small biomedical datasets. We use different architectures, parameters and hyper-parameters, trying to find out the better configurations for our task, and trying to find out underlying regularities. Two working datasets are from biomedical area of research. We conducted a lot of experiments with the two types of networks and the received results have shown the preference of some conditions of experiments and parameters of the networks over the others. All testing results are given in the tables and some selected resulting graphs and segmentation predictions are shown for better illustration.
