PyTorch code for paper 1M parameters are enough? A lightweight CNN-based model for medical image segmentation, APSIPA 2023.

• Code is in progress.

Deep learning models often have to deal with a trade-off between the need for high accuracy and the desire for low computational cost. In this work, we look for a lightweight U-Net-based model which can remain the same or even achieve better performance for the medical image segmetation, namely U-Lite.

Main highlights:

• U-Lite ultilizes the criss-cross 7x7 convolutional kernels as the main operator.
• The model contains only 878K parameters, x35 fewer parameters and x6 faster than UNet.
