MedMNIST v2 - A large-scale lightweight benchmark for 2D and 3D biomedical image classification.

ABSTRACT: We introduce MedMNIST v2, a large-scale MNIST-like dataset collection of standardized biomedical images, including 12 datasets for 2D and 6 datasets for 3D. All images are pre-processed into a small size of 28 × 28 (2D) or 28 × 28 × 28 (3D) with the corresponding classification labels so that no background knowledge is required for users. Covering primary data modalities in biomedical images, MedMNIST v2 is designed to perform classification on lightweight 2D and 3D images with various dataset scales (from 100 to 100,000) and diverse tasks (binary/multi-class, ordinal regression, and multi-label). The resulting dataset, consisting of 708,069 2D images and 9,998 3D images in total, could support numerous research/educational purposes in biomedical image analysis, computer vision, and machine learning. We benchmark several baseline methods on MedMNIST v2, including 2D/3D neural networks and open-source/commercial AutoML tools. The data and code are publicly available at https://medmnist.com/ .

Project description:The classification of remote sensing images is inherently challenging due to the complexity, diversity, and sparsity of the data across different image samples. Existing advanced methods often require substantial modifications to model architectures to achieve optimal performance, resulting in complex frameworks that are difficult to adapt. To overcome these limitations, we propose a lightweight ensemble method, enhanced by pure data correction, called the Exceptionally Straightforward Ensemble. This approach eliminates the need for extensive structural modifications to models. A key innovation in our method is the introduction of a novel strategy, quantitative augmentation, implemented through a plug-and-play module. This strategy effectively corrects feature distributions across remote sensing data, significantly improving the performance of Convolutional Neural Networks and Vision Transformers beyond traditional data augmentation techniques. Furthermore, we propose a straightforward algorithm to generate an ensemble network composed of two components, serving as the proposed lightweight classifier. We evaluate our method on three well-known datasets, with results demonstrating that our ensemble models outperform 48 state-of-the-art methods published since 2020, excelling in accuracy, inference speed, and model compactness. Specifically, our models achieve an overall accuracy of up to 96.8%, representing a 1.1% improvement on the challenging NWPU45 dataset. Moreover, the smallest model in our ensemble reduces parameters by up to 90% and inference time by 74%. Notably, our approach significantly enhances the performance of Convolutional Neural Networks and Vision Transformers, even with limited training data, thus alleviating the performance dependence on large-scale datasets. In summary, our data-driven approach offers an efficient, accessible solution for remote sensing image classification, providing an elegant alternative for researchers in geoscience fields who may have limited time or resources for model optimization.
