Meanwhile embodiment two provides a kind of method applied to the assessment of skeletal maturation degree,
(1), the building of pre-training bone image characteristic extracting module
Step a1: intensive connection network model is established, using the training set image of pre-training data set as input;
Step a2: by input picture by several intensive link blocks and transition zone (as shown in figure 8, the intensive connection of application Block 1, intensive link block 2, intensive link block 3, convolutional layer, transition zone) feature extraction is carried out, export prediction result;
Step a3: it calculates and damages using the prediction result and pre-training data set true picture label of intensive connection network model Function is lost, loss function is minimized, backpropagation optimizes network parameter, and training network makes intensively connect network model and passes through in advance It first trains, makes intensively to connect network model with good image characteristics extraction ability;
Step a4: by the intensive link block in part (intensive link block 1 and the intensive link block of intensive connection network model front layer 2) parameter carries out module migration, uses it as skeleton character extraction module, ulna/radius true picture is input to bone In characteristic extracting module, ulna/radius image primary features are obtained, skeleton character extraction module has filtered in bone image sample To the lesser feature of maturity classification image and noise characteristic, and reduce the characteristic size for being input to feature decision device.
(2), multi-channel feature generator generates characteristics of image
Step b1: it using the one-dimensional random noise with Gaussian Profile as input, is input in multi-channel feature generator;
Step b2: for each multi-channel feature generator, the random noise of input is by several warp laminations, wherein instead Convolutional layer activation primitive uses ReLU function, successively amplifies the skeleton character figure of generation after multilayer deconvolution, generation Every skeleton character figure is identical as the characteristic size size that skeleton character extraction module extracts;
Step b3: the skeleton character figure that the feature generator in each channel generates is subjected to cascade splicing, is obtained after splicing Dimension is consistent with the characteristic dimension that skeleton character extraction module extracts;
Step b4: the feature that multi-channel feature generator generates is input to capsule skeleton character arbiter, skeleton character Arbiter classifies to the multichannel skeleton character of generation, obtains and differentiates result.
(3), capsule skeleton character arbiter carries out classification and prediction result
Step c1: the ulna that true picture is obtained by skeleton character extraction module/radius primary features or multichannel The skeleton character that feature generator generates is input in capsule skeleton character arbiter as input;
Step c2: input further extracts ulna/radius low-level features of input by several convolutional layers, Wherein convolutional layer activation primitive uses ReLU function;
Step c3: ulna/radius feature that step c2 is extracted is input to capsule layer, obtains retaining space location information Ulna radius feature vector;
Step c4: the ulna/connection type of radius instantiated feature vector between the layers is used and utilizes routing Selection algorithm currently is best able to characterize the bone instantiated feature vector of all input feature vectors by routing mechanism building, Such as it represents the instantiated feature vector of bone width information or represents the instantiation vector of bone texture information, and its is defeated It is input to next layer out;
Step c5: after several capsule layers carry out the extraction of ulna radius instantiated feature, several bones instantiations are obtained Feature vector, for the classification task of radius, wherein first four vector field homoemorphism is long indicates that current input belongs to each radius maturation Spend the probability in stage, the long input for representing current skeleton character of another vector field homoemorphism whether be generate the probability of feature, and For ulna classification task, wherein first three vector field homoemorphism is long indicates that current input belongs to the general of each ulna maturity stage Rate, whether the long input for representing current skeleton character of another vector field homoemorphism is the probability for generating feature, and modulus length is maximum It is current ulna/radius input feature vector classification results that bone, which instantiates classification corresponding to vector,.
Wherein, in above-mentioned steps, bone capsule interlayer calculation described in step c4 specifically calculate as shown in figure 9, If the ulna radius instantiated feature vector u of upper layer capsule layeriIt is input in this layer, uiWith optimizable transition matrix WijIt is multiplied The predicted vector obtainedVector weighted sum S is wherein obtained by linear combination between predicted vectorj, linear combination is Number size is by cijIt determines, is obtaining SjLater, by compression function by SjVector length limits, and obtains output vector vj, coefficient cijFor constant.Constant cijBy bijIt calculates and determines, in interative computation, constantly update bijTo update coefficient of coup cij
The above process is the mathematical description of routing mechanism, in our skeleton character arbiter between capsule network layer Mathematical operation be of virtually corresponding instantiation meaning, for the linear combination mechanism and router of capsule interlayer operation The instantiation explanation of system is as shown in Figure 10.
Three, the building of loss function
Above-mentioned steps b and step c describes the propagated forward of capsule skeleton character arbiter Yu multichannel generator respectively Process is approached in the present embodiment two by ulna/radius feature that the building of loss function generates skeleton character generator The feature distribution of true bone image makes it by constructing polytypic loss function similarly for capsule skeleton character arbiter Can classification corresponding to each ulna radius input feature vector of good discrimination, steps are as follows:
Step d1: for the training process of skeleton character arbiter, when model prediction goes out current input ulna radius feature After corresponding classification, by the loss of skeletal maturation degree computational discrimination device corresponding to prediction result and current input feature, sentence The loss of other device is made of 3 parts, may be expressed as:
Skeleton character arbiter total losses=LReally there is the loss of label bone input feature vector+LReally lost without label bone input feature vector+LGenerate the loss of skeleton characterFor having The loss function of the feature of the true bone image of label, by taking radius is classified as an example, feature decision device carries out four classification to it, each Class represents a radius maturity stage.We calculate its loss function by losing using edge penalty Margin.We The class probability of each skeletal maturation degree is predicted using the output of first four capsule vector.And bone true for no label The loss function of the feature of bone image, ulna/radius feature of input only would know that its label be true skeleton character or The skeleton character of generation, therefore whether false skeleton character is belonged to current input using an output vector in feature decision device Probability differentiated, probability, which more levels off to, 0 represents the image as true bone input feature vector, and probability more levels off to 1 representative should Image is the skeleton character generated.We define the loss of the authentic specimen of no label using the cross entropy of sigmoid function Function.For generating the loss of skeleton character, we equally use same mode and construct loss function, lose letter Number equally uses the cross entropy formal definition of sigmoid function.
Step d2: for multi-channel feature generator, the purpose is to generate by simulating true ulna/radius feature The skeleton character image that feature decision device can be cheated, for our multi-channel feature generator, its loss includes two altogether Point, it may be expressed as:
Multi-channel feature generator total losses=LGenerate special feature decision loss+LGenerate feature multichannel match penalties
For generating the differentiation loss of skeleton character, the skeleton character of generation wants to imitate true ulna/radius spy The distribution of sign is to cheat feature decision device, so differentiating that result is true with it to it by arbiter to the skeleton character of generation Label is compared acquisition loss function, for generator loss we calculated using the cross entropy of sigmoid.For The multichannel match penalties for generating feature, when skeleton character information of the feature decision device to input carries out further feature extraction When, feature generator wishes skeleton character that it is generated when discrimination model further extracts feature, and output result can be with The true skeleton character intermediate result that arbiter extracts is matched.We are using real features in arbiter intermediate result and life At feature arbiter intermediate result squared difference as loss function.
The present embodiment two by carrying out feature extraction to high-resolution ulna/radius image using transfer learning method, and And ulna radius maturity is identified using the semi-supervised generation confrontation network generated based on skeleton character and feature identifies, Solves the problems such as excessive parameter amount in the classification and identification of high-resolution bone input picture and over-fitting, and using more Channel characteristics generator generates ulna, radius characteristic information figure, using capsule skeleton character arbiter to the bone for extracting acquisition Sample input feature vector is differentiated, skeletal maturation degree stage forecast is obtained, and capsule reality is utilized in capsule skeleton character arbiter Exampleization feature propagation mechanism generates confrontation network arbiter by vector characteristics representation method and routing mechanism substitution tradition The convolution operation and pondization of model operate, by connecting the capsule of different levels step by step in capsule skeleton character arbiter to mention It takes bone image to instantiate vector, enhances the ability in feature extraction of skeletal maturation degree discrimination model and the reservation to spatial information Property, while network is reduced to the demand of bone training sample, which uses semi-supervised learning mode, weakens network To the demand property of bone image markup information, and then realize that there is high-precision, the skeletal maturation degree of high robust automates assessment Model.
It is had the advantages that in the present embodiment two
