The method we use comes from this paper: From neonatal to adult brain mr image segmentation in a few seconds using 3d-like fully convolutional network and transfer learning

This project was part of the Smart India Hackathon 2019 in which our team was the runner ups. The probelm statement was Brain MRI Segmentation using Machine Learning given by Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India

• Since we are using transfer learning, a novel approach in this field, so we do not need to train our model from scratch which makes it very fast in training in comparison to other models.

• Stacking 3 successive 2D slices allows us to make a RGB image, another novel idea.This representation enables us to incorporate some 3D information, while avoiding the expensive computational and memory requirements of fully 3D FCN.

• Using Transfer Learning we do not need many training images, so we could train our model very well only on a few training images.

• We are also using traditional data augmentation methods like rotating, cropping and flipping the images in training set for improving our model.
