从结肠镜图像中准确分割息肉对结直肠癌的早期诊断和治疗至关重要。现有深度学习方法多采用编码器-解码器结构,部分结合分类等辅助任务提升性能,但通常需要更多标注数据且依赖任务相关性,限制泛化能力。为此,本文提出CL-Polyp,一种基于对比学习的息肉分割网络。通过在息肉图像中对比正负样本对,增强编码器的判别性特征提取能力,实现无需额外标注的自监督表示学习。同时引入两个轻量级模块:改进的空洞空间金字塔池化(MASPP)以优化多尺度特征融合,通道拼接与元素相加(CA)模块用于低层与上采样特征融合,提升边界重建效果。在五个基准数据集(Kvasir-SEG、CVC-ClinicDB、CVC-ColonDB、CVC-300、ETIS)上的大量实验表明,CL-Polyp持续优于当前最先进方法,在Kvasir-SEG和CVC-ClinicDB上分别提升0.011和0.020的IoU,验证了其在临床息肉分割中的有效性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurate segmentation of polyps from colonoscopy images is crucial for the early diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer. Most existing deep learning-based polyp segmentation methods adopt an Encoder-Decoder architecture, and some utilize multi-task frameworks that incorporate auxiliary tasks like classification to improve segmentation. However, these methods often need more labeled data and depend on task similarity, potentially limiting generalizability. To address these challenges, we propose CL-Polyp, a contrastive learning-enhanced polyp segmentation network. Our method uses contrastive learning to enhance the encoder's extraction of discriminative features by contrasting positive and negative sample pairs from polyp images. This self-supervised strategy improves visual representation without needing additional annotations. We also introduce two efficient, lightweight modules: the Modified Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling (MASPP) module for improved multi-scale feature fusion, and the Channel Concatenate and Element Add (CA) module to merge low-level and upsampled features for {enhanced} boundary reconstruction. Extensive experiments on five benchmark datasets-Kvasir-SEG, CVC-ClinicDB, CVC-ColonDB, CVC-300, and ETIS-show that CL-Polyp consistently surpasses state-of-the-art methods. Specifically, it enhances the IoU metric by 0.011 and 0.020 on the Kvasir-SEG and CVC-ClinicDB datasets, respectively, demonstrating its effectiveness in clinical polyp segmentation.
