U-Net, short for "U-shaped Network," is a popular deep learning architecture for image segmentation. Its unique U-shaped structure enables it to capture both high-level and low-level features of an image, making it well-suited for tasks such as biomedical image segmentation, where precise delineation of anatomical structures is crucial.
What is U-Net?
U-Net is a convolutional neural network (CNN) with an encoder-decoder architecture. The encoder consists of a series of convolutional and pooling layers that extract features from the input image. The decoder mirrors the encoder but with transposed convolutions and upsampling layers, which gradually increase the resolution of the feature maps. This allows the network to learn both global and local features, enabling precise segmentation.
