Alan-Han commented 3 years ago

hi qin, I open this issue to ask why not use ssim and iou loss which used in BASNet?It seems they are effective in BASBet, shown in Ablation Study part. Could you please tell me why you abandon them in U2Net, only use bce loss?

Because we found that u2net is able to capture multi-scale features well. It is not necessary to use the hybrid loss with u2net for improving the performance in terms of the existing evaluation metrics such as Fmeasure. But if your targets have rigid boundaries. We suggest to use the hybrid loss, which is able to give strong confidence around boundary regions and visually looks better.
