Patent number: 12169962Abstract: Digital image segmentation is provided. The method comprises training a neural network for image segmentation with a labeled training dataset from a first domain, wherein a subset of nodes in the neural net are dropped out during training. The neural network receives image data from a second, different domain. A vector of N values that sum to 1 is calculated for each image element, wherein each value represents an image segmentation class. A label is assigned to each image element according to the class with the highest value in the vector. Multiple inferences are performed with active dropout layers for each image element, and an uncertainty value is generated for each image element. Uncertainty is resolved according to expected characteristics. The label of any image element with an uncertainty above a threshold is replaced with a new label corresponding to a segmentation class based on domain knowledge.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2022Date of Patent: December 17, 2024Assignee: National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLCInventors: Carianne Martinez, Kevin Matthew Potter, Emily Donahue, Matthew David Smith, Charles J.
