Joint Learning Mechanism to Compress and Classify Radiological Images
Source code for ICVGIP 2018 paper: Jointly Learning Convolutional Representations to Compress Radiological Images and Classify Thoracic Diseases in the Compressed Domain
Overview of AE-CNN: Our proposed framework consists of three main blocks namely encoder, decoder, and classifier. The figure shows the autoencoder based convolutional neural network (AE-CNN) model for disease classification. Here, autoencoder reduces the spatial dimension of the imput image of size 1024 × 1024. The encoder produces a latent code tensor of size 224 × 224 and decoder reconstructs back the image. This latent code tensor is passed through a CNN classifier for classifying the chest x-rays. The final loss is the weighted sum of the resconstruction loss by decoder and classification loss by the CNN classifier.
