Where a Plaque Ends

Predicting Boundary Distinctness alongside the Mask, on a Painted Mannequin

A research poster from the School of Underlying Conditions adds a second output to a lesion-segmentation network: the four boundary-distinctness classes of soil-horizon description, predicted along the contour beside the mask. Trained and tested on 6,240 photographs of 312 patches airbrushed onto one mannequin with edges feathered to known widths, the head names the painted class for 77% of boundary segments, and on surfaces that curve away from the camera it errs towards the sharper class.
