IFREMER (Institut français de recherche pour l’exploitation de la mer) is one of the 15 partners that compose the consortium of EU marine robots (EUMR) H2020 infrastructure project. The Unit for Underwater Systems provides technical systems and related services for the scientific exploration of the deep ocean. The unit englobes…
In recent years, the deep learning based methods achieved the state of the art for medical image segmentation. However, these methods are sensitive to image intensity distribution changes such as different MRI scanner or protocol. Therefore, a neural network has to be retrained to perform similarly in other datasets. In…
