Dynamic Snake Upsampling Operater and Boundary-Skeleton Weighted Loss for Tubular Structure Segmentation
- 基于自适应采样域设计动态蛇形上采样,沿蜿蜒路径精准恢复亚像素特征。
- 提出骨架-边界递增加权损失,提升边界对齐精度与拓扑连续性。
- 可即插即用,显著提升血管、裂隙等管状结构的分割准确率与拓扑一致性。
管状拓扑结构(如肺裂和血管)的精确分割在多个领域对下游定量分析与建模至关重要。然而,在语义分割和超分辨率等密集预测任务中,传统上采样算子难以适应管状结构的纤细特性与形态弯曲。本文提出一种动态蛇形上采样算子和专为拓扑管状结构设计的边界-骨架加权损失。具体而言,设计基于自适应采样域的蛇形上采样算子,根据特征图动态调整采样步长,并沿蛇形路径选择一组亚像素采样点,实现对管状结构更精确的亚像素级特征恢复。同时,提出基于掩码类别比例与距离场的骨架-边界递增加权损失,优化主体与边界的权重分配,在保持主体重叠率的同时增强对目标拓扑连续性和边界对齐精度的关注。在多个领域数据集及骨干网络上的实验表明,该即插即用的动态蛇形上采样算子与边界-骨架加权损失能有效提升像素级分割精度与结果的拓扑一致性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurate segmentation of tubular topological structures (e.g., fissures and vasculature) is critical in various fields to guarantee dependable downstream quantitative analysis and modeling. However, in dense prediction tasks such as semantic segmentation and super-resolution, conventional upsampling operators cannot accommodate the slenderness of tubular structures and the curvature of morphology. This paper introduces a dynamic snake upsampling operators and a boundary-skeleton weighted loss tailored for topological tubular structures. Specifically, we design a snake upsampling operators based on an adaptive sampling domain, which dynamically adjusts the sampling stride according to the feature map and selects a set of subpixel sampling points along the serpentine path, enabling more accurate subpixel-level feature recovery for tubular structures. Meanwhile, we propose a skeleton-to-boundary increasing weighted loss that trades off main body and boundary weight allocation based on mask class ratio and distance field, preserving main body overlap while enhancing focus on target topological continuity and boundary alignment precision. Experiments across various domain datasets and backbone networks show that this plug-and-play dynamic snake upsampling operator and boundary-skeleton weighted loss boost both pixel-wise segmentation accuracy and topological consistency of results.
