Deep learning models have demonstrated significant potential in this task, but challenges persist due to variations in staining, tissue morphology, and artifacts. This study investigates segmentation models and proposes ensemble approaches to improve instance segmentation in OED histological images. The ensemble integrates diverse segmentation models using different voting rules, with the DC-weighted averaging achieving the best results. The proposed method obtained an accuracy of 94.09% and a Dice coefficient of 0.9461, surpassing individual models and demonstrating significant improvement over individual models. Comparative analysis with literature shows that the ensemble obtained competitive performance across multiple datasets. These results reinforce the potential of ensemble learning to enhance segmentation accuracy, contributing to the development of robust computer-aided diagnosis systems.
