Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• A novel generalized explicit vessel representation. • A novel framework for self-supervised tubular structure segmentation. • Comprehensive experiments on multiple 2D and 3D datasets through image and boundary metrics for vessel segmentation assessment. • Parallel-transport-based post-processing bridges the small vessel gaps using geometrical priors. • S3U-Net outperforms other label-free vessel segmentation methods and shows its potentials on self-supervised pre-training and transfer learning tasks.
