Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• We develop FKDNuSeg, a lightweight nuclei segmentation and classification model. Only with 4.11M parameters. • FKDNuSeg maintain comparable performance to larger nuclei segmentation and classification models. • FKDNuSeg requires only 9 min and 15 s to complete model inference on a 70,984×80,104 WSI and enabling completion of the entire nuclei segmentation workflow within 30 min (including the post-processing step). • We propose Flawless Knowledge Distillation (FKD), which enhances the classification capabilities of model.
