To What Extent Does Downsampling, Compression, and Data Scarcity Impact Renal Image Analysis?

no code implementations22 Sep 2019 Can Peng, Kun Zhao, Arnold Wiliem, Teng Zhang, Peter Hobson, Anthony Jennings, Brian C. Lovell

Critical findings are observed: (1) The best balance between detection accuracy, detection speed and file size is achieved at 8 times downsampling captured with a $40\times$ objective; (2) compression which reduces the file size dramatically, does not necessarily have an adverse effect on overall accuracy; (3) reducing the amount of training data to some extents causes a drop in precision but has a negligible impact on the recall; (4) in most cases, Faster R-CNN achieves the best accuracy in the glomerulus detection task.
