分裂象检测是计算病理学中的关键任务,因其与肿瘤侵袭性密切相关。然而,不同扫描仪、组织类型和染色协议带来的域差异严重影响自动化方法的鲁棒性。本文提出SDF-YOLO(Single Detect Focused YOLO),一种轻量级且域鲁棒的检测框架,专为微小稀有目标如分裂象设计。模型在YOLOv11基础上引入任务定制改进:与分裂象尺度对齐的单检测头、坐标注意力机制以增强位置敏感性,以及改进的跨通道特征混合。在涵盖人和犬类肿瘤的三个数据集(MIDOG++、CCMCT、CMC)上进行实验。提交至MIDOG2025挑战赛预测试集时,SDF-YOLO达到平均精度(AP)0.799,精确率0.758,召回率0.775,F1分数0.766,FROC-AUC为5.793,展现兼具竞争力的准确率与计算效率。结果表明,SDF-YOLO可在多种域间实现可靠高效的分裂象检测。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Mitotic figure detection is a crucial task in computational pathology, as mitotic activity serves as a strong prognostic marker for tumor aggressiveness. However, domain variability that arises from differences in scanners, tissue types, and staining protocols poses a major challenge to the robustness of automated detection methods. In this study, we introduce SDF-YOLO (Single Detect Focused YOLO), a lightweight yet domain-robust detection framework designed specifically for small, rare targets such as mitotic figures. The model builds on YOLOv11 with task-specific modifications, including a single detection head aligned with mitotic figure scale, coordinate attention to enhance positional sensitivity, and improved cross-channel feature mixing. Experiments were conducted on three datasets that span human and canine tumors: MIDOG ++, canine cutaneous mast cell tumor (CCMCT), and canine mammary carcinoma (CMC). When submitted to the preliminary test set for the MIDOG2025 challenge, SDF-YOLO achieved an average precision (AP) of 0.799, with a precision of 0.758, a recall of 0.775, an F1 score of 0.766, and an FROC-AUC of 5.793, demonstrating both competitive accuracy and computational efficiency. These results indicate that SDF-YOLO provides a reliable and efficient framework for robust mitotic figure detection across diverse domains.
