Interpretable Optimization Training Strategy-Based DCNN and Its Application on CT Image Recognition

The theoretical basis of the discrete random sample batch classification is not clear and the sample division is not scientific during the process of Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) model training. Aiming at the problems above, starting from the DCNN detection recognition mechanism, the theory of random discrete samples is given and proved, and a scientific quantitative batch of sample input method is proposed. Combined with image preprocessing, based on the strategy of random dispersion of samples, and scientifically quantified sample input batches, the DCNN model is trained with limited label samples, and then the CT image recognition of pulmonary nodules is carried out. Experimental results based on the LIDC-ID-RI public dataset show that the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the proposed method have reached 96.40%, 95.60%, and 96.00%, respectively. Compared with the multiscale convolutional neural network method and the multiscale multimode image fusion method, the recognition accuracy of the proposed method is improved by 1.6 and 3.49 percentage points, respectively.
