Furthermore, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise indicated, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an application system of an image processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the application system of the image processing method includes an acquisition device 11 and an image processing device 12.
Wherein the acquisition device 11 is used for acquiring video data. In this embodiment, the acquisition device 11 may be used to acquire video data of an object to be segmented by penetrating into the patient's body through a corresponding surgical incision under the control of a physician, and transmit the acquired video data to the image processing device 12 in real time. Alternatively, the collection device 11 may be an endoscope in particular.
It should be understood that the object to be segmented refers to a site where a desired cut-out portion grows. In this embodiment, the portion to be resected may be a hyperplastic gland, and the object to be segmented may be a verruca, a prostatic capsule, and a bladder neck, in which the hyperplastic gland is grown.
The image processing device 12 may be a general purpose computing device or a data processing device or a storage device. In this embodiment, the image processing device 12 may receive the video data transmitted by the acquisition device 11, and process the video data to identify, in the video data, a pixel area where the object to be segmented is located.
Specifically, the acquisition device 11 may be advanced into the patient under the control of a physician to acquire video data of the object to be segmented, and transmit the acquired video data to the image processing device 12 in real time. Upon receiving the video data, the image processing apparatus 12 extracts the video data frame by frame to acquire a plurality of pieces of image data. Further, for each image data, the image processing device 12 determines, from among a plurality of preset categories, a target category to which an object to be segmented belongs in the image data, determines, from among a plurality of segmentation models, a target segmentation model corresponding to the target category, generates a feature mask map corresponding to the object to be segmented based on the target segmentation model, and further identifies a pixel region in which the object to be segmented is located in the image data according to the feature mask map. After identifying the pixel region in each image data where the object to be segmented is located, the image processing device 12 reassembles each image data into video data and outputs the video data to be displayed to a doctor.
According to the method and the device for identifying the boundary between the object to be segmented and the hyperplastic gland, the boundary between the object to be segmented and the hyperplastic gland can be displayed to a doctor through identification of the pixel region where the object to be segmented is located in the video data, so that the doctor can quickly and accurately identify the removal boundary of the hyperplastic gland, and the problem of insufficient removal of the hyperplastic gland or the problem of rupture of the prostate capsule during the excision of the hyperplastic gland can be avoided.
Alternatively, the classification model and the plurality of segmentation models in the present embodiment may be pre-trained neural network models. The classification models are used for determining target categories to which the objects to be segmented belong in the image data in a plurality of preset categories, and each segmentation model is respectively used for carrying out image segmentation on the objects to be segmented in the corresponding preset categories, wherein the preset categories specifically refer to vernix, prostatic capsule and bladder neck. Specifically, in prostatoplasia gland resection surgery, the physician needs to remove the gland hyperplasia on the vernal mons, the prostate capsule and the bladder neck, respectively. Therefore, the segmentation model in this embodiment needs to be able to image-segment the verruca, the prostatic capsule and the bladder neck. However, if the same segmentation model is used to realize the image segmentation of the verruca, the prostatic capsule and the bladder neck at the same time, the image segmentation accuracy of the segmentation model is reduced, so that the recognition requirement is difficult to meet. In order to improve the image segmentation accuracy, the embodiment trains segmentation models corresponding to preset categories respectively, so as to segment images of objects to be segmented corresponding to the preset categories through the segmentation models. Correspondingly, the embodiment also trains a classification model to judge the target category to which the object to be segmented in the current image belongs from a plurality of preset categories through the classification model.
Optionally, for presenting the identified video data to the physician, the image processing device 12 may also be connected to a corresponding image output means, such as a visual screen or the like, by means of which the image data is presented to the physician.
Optionally, the acquisition device 11 and the image processing device 12 may be connected by using a wireless network, a wired network, or a combination of the wireless network and the wired network, so as to implement data interaction. The wireless network may include any one or a combination of a 5G mobile communication network technology (5 th-Generation, 5G) system, a Long term evolution (Long term evolution, LTE) system, a global system for mobile communication (Global System for Mobile Communication, GSM), bluetooth (BT), wireless fidelity (Wireless Fidelity, wi-Fi), a code division multiple access (Code Division Multiple Access, CDMA) network, a wideband code division multiple access (wideband code division multiple access, WCDMA) network, a Long Range (Long) technology, or Zigbee (Zigbee) technology. The wired network may include a fiber optic communication network or a network of coaxial cables, etc.
It should be understood that the image processing method in this embodiment is not limited to application in prostatoplasia gland resection surgery, and the image processing method in this embodiment can be applied in other related resection surgery as well by performing adaptation. The image processing method in the present embodiment can be applied to a tumor resection operation as well, for example, by determining a portion to be resected as a tumor, determining an object to be segmented as a portion where the tumor grows, and adjusting training data of the relevant model. Also, for example, by determining a portion to be resected as a polyp, determining an object to be segmented as a site where the polyp grows, and adjusting training data of the correlation model, the image processing method in the present embodiment can also be applied to polypectomy.
It should be understood that the image processing method in this embodiment is not limited to the applied surgical scene, and specifically, the image processing method may be applied in an open surgical scene or in a minimally invasive surgical scene.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of an image processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the image processing method specifically may include the following steps:
it should be understood that the execution subject of the image processing method may specifically be the image processing apparatus in the above-described embodiment.
S100, acquiring image data to be processed.
Specifically, the image processing apparatus may acquire the video data acquired by the acquisition apparatus, and extract the video data frame by frame to acquire a plurality of pieces of image data to be processed in the video data.
It should be understood that the image processing method in this embodiment may also be used to identify the pixel region where the object to be segmented is located in the single image data, where the image processing apparatus may acquire the single image data to be processed in step S100.
Alternatively, when extracting video data frame by frame to acquire each image data, the image processing apparatus may also record a time stamp corresponding to each extracted image data so that each image data can be recombined into video data according to the time stamp in a subsequent step.
S200, inputting the image data into a pre-trained classification model to determine the target category of the object to be segmented in the image data from a plurality of preset categories.
The classification model may be a pre-trained neural network model, and the classification model is used for determining a category to which an object to be segmented in an input image belongs from a plurality of preset categories, where the preset categories may include mons, prostatic capsule and bladder neck.
Specifically, after acquiring each image data, the image processing apparatus may input the image data into a classification model for each image data to determine, from among a plurality of preset categories, a target category to which an object to be segmented in the current image data belongs, by the classification model.
Optionally, the present embodiment further provides a classification model training method, and the classification model training method may be used to train the classification model.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a classification model training method according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 3, the classification model training method specifically may include the following steps:
s1000, acquiring a plurality of sample images.
The sample images are images containing the object to be segmented, the images are obtained in the history operation process, each sample image can be provided with a corresponding area label and a category label, the area labels are used for marking pixel areas where the object to be segmented is located in the sample images, and the category labels are used for marking categories where the object to be segmented belongs in the sample images.
Specifically, the image processing apparatus may use an image including an object to be segmented acquired during a history operation as an original sample image, label a category to which the object to be segmented belongs in each original sample image as a category label based on self experience by a doctor, and label a pixel region in each original sample image in which the object to be segmented is located as a region label, thereby obtaining a sample image that can be used for training a classification model.
Alternatively, the sample image acquired in step S1000 may be a sample image acquired and marked by a person on another device.
Alternatively, the present embodiment may annotate each original sample image by a physician through an image annotator. In particular, the physician may import the original sample Image in Image format into the Image annotator. In the image annotator, a doctor can annotate the category to which the image to be segmented belongs in the original sample image, and can annotate the outline of the image to be segmented in the original sample image. After the labeling is completed, the physician may output the labeled sample image in json format through the image annotator. It should be understood that the category marked by the doctor is the category label of the original sample image, and the position information of each contour coordinate marked by the doctor is the area label of the original sample image. The class label information and the area label information marked by a doctor can be stored in the json-format sample image, so that the json-format sample image can be used as training data of a classification model.
Alternatively, the image annotator may specifically employ a VGG-16 image annotator. The VGG-16 is a deep learning image annotation tool based on a deep convolutional neural network (Dynamic Convolution Neural Network, DCNN).
And S2000, training the first neural network based on the plurality of sample images to obtain the classification model.
Specifically, after the image samples are acquired and labeled, the image processing device may perform multiple rounds of training on the first neural network based on the plurality of sample images to obtain the classification model.
Alternatively, the training process of the model is a process of learning and updating parameters of the model. In step S2000, the image processing apparatus may retain the model parameters once every time after completing one round of training. After the training of the preset number of rounds is completed, the image processing device can evaluate the classification effect of the classification model under each model parameter, and takes the model parameter which can enable the classification effect of the classification model to reach the optimal degree in a plurality of model parameters as the final model parameter of the classification model according to the evaluation result, so that the classification effect of the trained model can be improved.
Alternatively, the image processing apparatus may determine the classification effect of the classification model by calculating the Global Accuracy (GA) of the classification model, the Classification Accuracy (CA) for each Class, and the average Accuracy (Mean Accuracy, macc). The global accuracy refers to the ratio of the sample images to the total number of the sample images, the classification accuracy refers to the ratio of the number of the sample images in the current category to the number of the actual sample images in the category, and the average accuracy refers to the ratio of the sum of the classification accuracy of each category to the number of the categories.
S300, determining a target segmentation model corresponding to the target category from a plurality of segmentation models trained in advance.
The segmentation models can be pre-trained neural network models, and each segmentation model is used for carrying out image segmentation on the object to be segmented corresponding to the preset category.
Specifically, after determining a target class to which an object to be segmented belongs in the current image data, the image processing apparatus may determine a target segmentation model corresponding to the target class among a plurality of segmentation models.
S400, inputting the image data into the target segmentation model to generate a feature mask map corresponding to the object to be segmented.
Specifically, after determining the target segmentation model, the image processing apparatus may input the current image data into the target segmentation model to image-segment an object to be segmented in the current image data through the target segmentation model to generate a feature mask map corresponding to the object to be segmented.
Further, an encoder portion and a decoder portion may be included in the target segmentation model. Wherein the encoder section is for performing feature extraction on an input image, and the decoder section is for performing feature restoration on an encoded feature extraction map. Specifically, after the current image data is input into the target segmentation model, the encoder part in the target segmentation model performs multiple rolling and pooling operations on the input image to perform shallow-to-deep feature extraction on the input image, so as to obtain a corresponding feature extraction graph. After the feature extraction map is obtained, the decoder part in the target segmentation model performs a plurality of upsampling operations on the feature extraction map to perform feature reduction on the feature extraction map, thereby obtaining a feature reduction map with the same size as the input image. After the feature reduction image is obtained, a convolution prediction layer in a target segmentation model traverses each pixel point in an image according to the feature reduction image to determine the probability that each pixel point belongs to the foreground, then determines the pixel point with the probability larger than or equal to a preset threshold value as a foreground pixel point, and determines the pixel point with the probability smaller than the preset threshold value as a background pixel point, so that the feature mask image can be obtained.
It should be appreciated that the resulting feature mask map includes background pixels with gray values of 255 and foreground pixels with gray values of 0. The foreground pixel points are used for representing pixel points belonging to the object to be segmented, and the background pixel points are used for representing pixel points not belonging to the object to be segmented.
Optionally, a residual structure may be further established between the decoder and the corresponding layer of the encoder of the segmentation model, where the residual structure may superimpose the feature extraction map of the corresponding layer with the current feature reduction map during feature reduction, so as to ensure that features in the image are not lost during feature extraction.
Optionally, the present embodiment further provides a segmentation model training method, and the segmentation model training method may be used for training the segmentation model.
Fig. 4 is a flowchart of a segmentation model training method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 4, the segmentation model training method specifically may include the following steps:
s3000, dividing the plurality of sample images into a plurality of sample image sets according to the category labels.
The sample images are the same as those of the training classification model, and not described in detail herein, and the sample images in each sample image set have the same class label.

In particular, for each set of sample images, the image processing device may train the second neural network multiple times with the set of sample images to obtain a corresponding segmentation model.
It should be understood that, similar to the training method of the classification model, the image processing apparatus may retain the model parameters after the completion of each round of training when training the segmentation model, evaluate the segmentation effect of the segmentation model under each model parameter after the completion of training of the preset round number, and use the model parameters that can optimize the segmentation effect of the segmentation model among the plurality of model parameters according to the evaluation result as the final model parameters of the segmentation model.
The image processing apparatus can determine the division effect of the division model by calculating not only the global accuracy of the division model, the classification accuracy for each class, and the average accuracy, but also the similarity metric function of the division model, that is, the Dice coefficient, the intersection ratio (Intersection over Union, ioU), and the average intersection ratio (Mean Intersection over Union, MIoU), as compared to the classification model.
Wherein the accuracy of the segmentation model is for each pixel point compared to the classification model. Specifically, the global accuracy of the segmentation model refers to the ratio of the pixel points to the total number of the pixel points, the classification accuracy refers to the ratio of the pixel points accurately predicted to be the current class to the actual pixel points of the class, the average accuracy refers to the sum of the classification accuracy of the foreground pixel points and the classification accuracy of the background pixel points divided by two, the Dice coefficient refers to the ratio of the sum of two times of the pixel points accurately predicted to be the current class to the sum of the actual pixel points of the class and the predicted class, and the intersection ratio refers to the ratio of the intersection of the actual pixel points of the class and the predicted pixel points of the class to the union, and the average intersection ratio is the sum of the intersection ratio of the pixel points of the foreground and the background pixel points divided by two.
Alternatively, a loss function is often used to compare a metric value of a difference between a predicted output of the machine learning model for a sample and a true value of the sample (which may also be referred to as a supervision value), i.e., to measure a difference between the predicted output of the machine learning model for the sample and the true value of the sample, and a specific value of the loss function may be used to determine an adjustment amplitude of a model parameter in model training.

The image preprocessing may include any one or combination of randomly adjusting the hue of the image, randomly adjusting the saturation and brightness (Hue Saturation Value, HSV) of the image, or randomly adjusting the flipping, scaling, and cropping of the image.
