Practical overview
When it fits
Use Agileformer when you need a research codebase and documented configurations for medical-image segmentation experiments, especially evaluation with pretrained Synapse models.
Who it is for
- Medical-imaging researchers evaluating segmentation models on documented datasets.
- Developers adapting a Transformer U-Net implementation for medical-image labeling experiments.
Documented uses
- Evaluate pretrained segmentation models on Synapse using repository configurations.
- Explore segmentation configurations for Synapse, ACDC cardiac imaging and Decathlon brain-tumor tasks.
- Adapt or retrain the implementation to investigate spatially dynamic segmentation components.
Requirements & limits
The public GitHub repository specifies an Apache-2.0 license.
- The README lists pretrained Synapse checkpoints in tiny and base sizes, with configurations and download links.
- The documented environment recommends Python 3.8 or later and PyTorch 2.1 or later with CUDA 12.1 or later for package compatibility.
- NATTEN and deformable-convolution dependencies can involve version-specific installation; the README describes tvdcn, mmcv and PyTorch implementation options.
- The repository says its deformable-convolution implementation changes require retraining.
- The README reports results for specified dataset and model setups; these are research results, not a guarantee of performance on other data.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Prepare an environment and evaluate a pretrained model
Set up the documented prerequisites and start evaluation using a pretrained configuration.
Before you start
- Python 3.8 or later is recommended.
- PyTorch 2.1 or later and CUDA 12.1 or later are recommended for package compatibility.
- Install repository dependencies with the requirements file; the README notes that NATTEN and deformable convolution may need separate, version-matched installation.
- Prepare the chosen dataset and pretrained weights.
Steps
Install the repository dependencies with the command below.
pip install -r requirements.txtPrepare the dataset and place the pretrained weights in the repository directory specified for the evaluation workflow.
Choose a pretrained configuration from the
configsdirectory.Run the command below, substituting the chosen configuration path.
python test.py --cfg [pretrained_config_file in configs]
Expected outcome
Starts the repository’s documented pretrained-model evaluation workflow for the selected configuration.
Guide limitations
- The recommended dependency versions are compatibility guidance, not a guarantee that a particular environment will work.
- Using a different deformable-convolution implementation may require retraining, according to the README.
