US Patent 11961276 Linear structure extraction device, method, program, and learned model

Provided are a linear structure extraction device, a method, a program, and a learned model which can detect a linear structure in an image. A linear structure extraction device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a learning model that is learned to receive an input of the image and output, as a prediction result, one or more element points which constitute the linear structure from the image, in which the learning model includes a first processing module that receives the image and generates a feature map representing a feature amount of the image by convolution processing, and a second processing module that calculates a shift amount from a unit center point to the element point of the linear structure closest to the unit center point, for each unit obtained by dividing the feature map into a plurality of the units including regions having a predetermined size in a grid pattern.
