Weakly supervised semantic segmentation for MRI: exploring the advantages and disadvantages of class activation maps for biological image segmentation with soft boundaries

Abstract Fully supervised semantic segmentation models require pixel-level annotations that are costly to obtain. As a remedy, weakly supervised semantic segmentation has been proposed, where image-level labels and class activation maps (CAM) can detect discriminative regions for specific class obje...
