Pulmonary opacification is the inflammation in the lungs caused by many respiratory ailments, including the novel corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Chest X-rays (CXRs) with such opacifications render regions of lungs imperceptible , making it difficult to perform automated image analysis on them. In this work, we focus on segmenting lungs from...

... In our implementation, lung segmentation has been carried out using the solution proposed by Selvan et al. [37], based on an U-net architecture and a variational encoder for data imputation, trained on public datasets labeled for tuberculosis detection [24], and specifically the model provided by the authors 1 . The segmentation masks are post-processed using connected component analysis to exclude small erroneous regions and binary morphological closing to fill any small holes in the masks (see Figure 3 for examples). ...
