Specific embodiment
To enable present invention purpose, feature, advantage more obvious and understandable, below in conjunction with the application Attached drawing in embodiment, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the application is clearly and completely described, it is clear that described reality Applying example is only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments.Based on the embodiment in the application, those skilled in the art Member's every other embodiment obtained without making creative work, shall fall in the protection scope of this application.
As shown in Fig. 1-a, a kind of myocardium of left ventricle dividing method includes: in the embodiment of the present application
Step 101 obtains cardiac image;
In a kind of application scenarios, step 101, which can show themselves in that, passes through magnetic resonance imaging (MagneticResonanceImaging, MRI) technology obtains cardiac image, and the cardiac image got at this time is MRI figure Picture.Be illustrated below to MRI technique: MRI technique is a kind of technology that body structures' image is obtained by magnetic field, tool There is the advantages of hurtless measure, therefore patient can be by good protection when being checked.In the present embodiment, can pass through The cardiac image of MRI technique acquisition human body.
In another application scenarios, cardiac image can also be obtained by ultrasonic diagnostic mode (such as B ultrasound).Alternatively, (such as importing) cardiac image to be split can also be obtained from existing cardiac image data library, herein without limitation.
Step 102 carries out down-sampling process of convolution to above-mentioned cardiac image;
In a step 102, to above-mentioned cardiac image (primitive cardiac image or the cardiac image after normalized) into Row down-sampling process of convolution.
Specifically, step 102 includes: the characteristic information extracted in above-mentioned cardiac image, the characteristic information pair based on extraction Above-mentioned cardiac image carries out down-sampling process of convolution.
Optionally, the characteristic information in above-mentioned cardiac image is extracted by a process of convolution, which is applied Formula can indicate are as follows:

Alternatively, the spy in above-mentioned cardiac image can also be extracted based on Dense network or other image characteristics extraction algorithms Reference breath, herein without limitation.
Since the format of cardiac image that gets may not all the same (such as the cardiod diagram got based on MRI technique As there are two types of different-formats: 176*132,132*176), in order to facilitate the training of network, the parameter of redundancy is reduced, can obtained After getting cardiac image, the normalized of size is carried out to the cardiac image got, so that the heart after normalized The size of image is uniform sizes.Optionally, step 101 is later and step 102 can also include: before to the heart got Image carries out the normalized of picture size, obtains the cardiac image of pre-set dimension.Then step 102 can specific manifestation are as follows: right The cardiac image of above-mentioned pre-set dimension carries out down-sampling process of convolution.
Specifically, pre-set dimension for example can be set to 128*128.It is of course also possible to size is preset as other sizes, this Place is without limitation.
Step 103 extracts fisrt feature information;
Wherein, above-mentioned fisrt feature information is the characteristic information of the output object of the last down-sampling process of convolution.
In the embodiment of the present application, the output of the last down-sampling process of convolution can be extracted based on image feature extraction techniques Characteristic information (i.e. fisrt feature information) in object.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the iterative process for not completing n times extraction second feature information (is abbreviated as not in Fig. 1-a Complete iterative process) when, show that current compressed cardiac image also needs to continue to restore, executes step 107 at this time.By this Iterative process can gradually restore cardiac image.
In step 107, the second feature information currently extracted and the last time can be up-sampled into process of convolution Output object input up-sampling layer carries out up-sampling process of convolution, and the output of the up-sampling layer is when time up-sampling process of convolution Output object.
If step 108 completes the iterative process that n times extract second feature information, based on preparatory trained classifier The second feature information extracted with n-th carries out myocardium of left ventricle to the output object of the last up-sampling process of convolution Segmentation;
When the iterative process for completing n times extraction second feature information, show currently to mention for the feature of above-mentioned cardiac image Process is taken to complete, the output pair of the second feature information and the last up-sampling process of convolution of at this time extracting n-th As trained classifier (such as softmax classifier) carries out myocardium of left ventricle in advance for (cardiac image after restoring) input Segmentation, that is, isolate the myocardium of left ventricle and background information in the output object.Specifically, extracted based on n-th second The output object and above-mentioned classifier of characteristic information, the last up-sampling process of convolution, can will be each in the output object A pixel classifications are foreground information (such as myocardium of left ventricle) or background information, to realize the left ventricle heart in cardiac image Flesh and background separation.
It should be noted that for (being referred to as below in the embodiment of the present application to divide the network of myocardium of left ventricle automatically It can be for segmentation network, such as the segmentation network by the aforementioned Dense network referred to, down-sampling layer, up-sampling layer and classification Device etc.), it can be obtained by way of training in advance.It in practical applications, can be multiple to above-mentioned point of training by obtaining The cardiac image for cutting network is trained above-mentioned segmentation network, and can optimize the segmentation network based on Adam optimization algorithm. It is realized specifically, being referred to prior art based on the process that Adam optimization algorithm optimizes the segmentation network, herein not It repeats again.Further, Dice coefficient also can be used to assess the accuracy of above-mentioned segmentation network, formula can behave as following public affairs Formula:
Wherein, D indicates that Dice coefficient, this coefficient measure segmentation result, p by comparing the similarity of divided areaiGeneration Table segmentation result, giRepresent the segmentation result of mark.Dice coefficient is in section 0~1, is worth the bigger essence for indicating segmentation result Exactness is higher.
It is previously noted that in step 103 and step 106 fisrt feature information and second can be extracted based on Dense network Characteristic information.Under this application scenarios, following constraint condition can be set: 1, in the iteration mistake of said extracted fisrt feature information Cheng Zhong, (n+1)th time the convolution kernel number for extracting Dense network used in fisrt feature information is that n-th extracts fisrt feature One times of the convolution kernel number of Dense network used in information;And in the iterative process of said extracted second feature information In, (n+1)th time the convolution kernel number for extracting Dense network used in second feature information is that n-th extracts second feature letter The half of the convolution kernel number of Dense network used in ceasing;And n-th is extracted used in fisrt feature information The convolution kernel number of Dense network is equal to the 1st convolution kernel number for extracting Dense network used in second feature information, Wherein, n ∈ [1, N).
