Pulmonary Nodule Detection Based on Faster R-CNN With Adaptive Anchor Box

Early pulmonary nodule detection is very important in lung cancer diagnosis and screening. Most state-of-the-art lung nodule detection models are based on Faster Region-based Convolutional Neural Network (Faster R-CNN) due to its superior performance. However, this object detection approach faces di...
