A new dataset for measuring the performance of blood vessel segmentation methods under distribution shifts. by Matheus Viana da Silva, Natália de Carvalho Santos, Julie Ouellette, Baptiste Lacoste, Cesar H Comin

“…Interestingly, while some training sets lead to Dice scores as low as 0.59, a careful selection of the training samples results in a Dice score of 0.85. Thus, the VessMAP dataset can be used for the development of new active learning methods for selecting relevant samples for manual annotation as well as for analyzing the robustness of segmentation models to distribution shifts of the data.…”
