In brief

Every wound detector is built on a feature extractor, the backbone that turns pixels into patterns. This study benchmarks 14 backbone and architecture combinations on the public DFU2020 dataset to find the best foundation for automated ulcer detection.

Key findings

  • 14 networks compared on mAP and F1
  • UNet with an EfficientNet-B3 backbone performed best
  • The foundation for the group's later detection pipeline
