COVD- and COVD-SLL Results

In addition to the M2U-Net architecture, we also evaluated the larger DRIU network and a variation of it that contains batch normalization (DRIU+BN) on COVD- (Combined Vessel Dataset from all training data minus target test set) and COVD-SSL (COVD- and Semi-Supervised Learning). Perhaps surprisingly, for the majority of combinations, the performance of the DRIU variants are roughly equal or worse to the ones obtained with the much smaller M2U-Net. We anticipate that one reason for this could be overparameterization of large VGG-16 models that are pretrained on ImageNet.
