Abstract

Convolutional Neural Network has shown great success in many areas. Different from the hand-engineered feature based classification, Convolutional Neural Network uses self-learned features from data for classification. Recently, some progress has been made in the area of Convolutional Neural Network based lung nodule detection. This paper gives a brief introduction to the problems in such area reviews the recent related results, and concludes the challenges met. Besides some technical details, we also introduce some available public packages for a fast development and some public data sources.
