Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: High-dimensional data generally contains more accurate information for medical image, e.g., computerized tomography (CT) data can depict the three dimensional structure of organs more precisely. However, the data in high-dimension often needs enormous computation and has high memory requirements in the deep learning convolution networks, while dimensional reduction usually leads to performance degradation.
