Overlapping Chromosome Segmentation using U-Net: Convolutional Networks with Test Time Augmentation

An effective human metaphase chromosome analysis system can be used by doctors as a second opinion during diagnosis. Segmentation is necessary in developing this system to identify and distinguish between individual chromosomes. The main challenge in chromosome segmentation is the separation of overlapping chromosomes. Deep convolutional neural networks have been widely used for medical segmentation, especially with U-Net.
