Serp-Mamba: Advancing High-Resolution Retinal Vessel Segmentation with Selective State-Space Model
- 蛇形扫描沿血管曲线爬行,连续捕捉弯曲结构特征。
- 双驱动重校准模块用可学习阈值区分模糊像素,缓解类别不平衡。
- 在三个数据集上表现优于现有方法,适合高分辨率眼底图像分析。
超广角扫描激光眼底成像(UWF-SLO)图像以约200度视角捕获高分辨率视网膜图像,准确分割其中的血管对检测和诊断眼底疾病至关重要。最新研究表明,Mamba中的选择性状态空间模型(SSM)能有效建模长程依赖,对捕捉细长血管的连续性极为关键。受此启发,我们提出首个用于该任务的蛇形状态空间网络(Serp-Mamba)。针对血管结构复杂、形态多变且细微的特点,以及高分辨率图像加剧的背景与血管类别不平衡问题,我们设计了蛇形交错自适应(SIA)扫描机制,沿血管曲线以蛇形方式扫描,匹配血管纹理变化,实现对弯曲血管特征的有效连续捕捉。同时,提出模糊驱动双重重校准(ADDR)模块,通过两个可学习阈值划分像素,并采用双重驱动策略优化模糊区域,精准区分血管与背景。在三个数据集上的实验表明,Serp-Mamba在高分辨率血管分割任务中性能领先。消融实验证实了各设计的有效性。代码将在论文发表后公开。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Ultra-Wide-Field Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy (UWF-SLO) images capture high-resolution views of the retina with typically 200 spanning degrees. Accurate segmentation of vessels in UWF-SLO images is essential for detecting and diagnosing fundus disease. Recent studies have revealed that the selective State Space Model (SSM) in Mamba performs well in modeling long-range dependencies, which is crucial for capturing the continuity of elongated vessel structures. Inspired by this, we propose the first Serpentine Mamba (Serp-Mamba) network to address this challenging task. Specifically, we recognize the intricate, varied, and delicate nature of the tubular structure of vessels. Furthermore, the high-resolution of UWF-SLO images exacerbates the imbalance between the vessel and background categories. Based on the above observations, we first devise a Serpentine Interwoven Adaptive (SIA) scan mechanism, which scans UWF-SLO images along curved vessel structures in a snake-like crawling manner. This approach, consistent with vascular texture transformations, ensures the effective and continuous capture of curved vascular structure features. Second, we propose an Ambiguity-Driven Dual Recalibration (ADDR) module to address the category imbalance problem intensified by high-resolution images. Our ADDR module delineates pixels by two learnable thresholds and refines ambiguous pixels through a dual-driven strategy, thereby accurately distinguishing vessels and background regions. Experiment results on three datasets demonstrate the superior performance of our Serp-Mamba on high-resolution vessel segmentation. We also conduct a series of ablation studies to verify the impact of our designs. Our code shall be released upon publication of this work.
