Patches per Image
Number of random patches extracted from each image slice for training.
This controls how many training examples are generated from each image in your stack. More patches mean more training data.
Fewer patches (50-100)
Faster dataset creation and training
May not capture all variations in the image
Good for quick experiments
More patches (200-500)
More comprehensive coverage of image variations
Longer training time
Better for images with diverse content
Recommendations
100 patches is a good starting point
Increase if your images have varied content
Decrease for quick testing or limited compute time
