In this paper, the hourglass network was trained on multiple subject samples with a variable number of intervertebral discs : between 7 and 11 discs.
Issue
Therefore, when more discs are present in the image, the hourglass is unable to identify them, leading to false negative detections.
Parameter
The parameter --ndiscs used to specify the maximum number of class (number of discs) we want the hourglass to detect during training is therefore a key argument.
