Add Centerline loss #502

Closed valhassan closed 7 months ago

Description

Connectivity is an important characteristic of tubular structures such as roads. A well-defined differentiable centerline loss combined with other losses such as dice loss potentially allows us to preserve this quality. Reference paper

Rationale

GDL can extract tubular structures such as roads. A loss function capable of preserving connectedness will improve overall extraction quality.

Possible Implementation
