“…Furthermore, although DeepLab with Xception backbone outperforms other models in terms of RVD, and the CAC-UNet (first place) achieves the highest AUC, our model performs significantly better in the other three metrics. In Figure 7 , we illustrate the results of tumour segmentation on the sample images and compare them with that of [ 20 , 21 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 ]. As shown in this figure, the mask predicted by the proposed network is extremely close to the ground truth.…”
