Enhancing Polyp Segmentation via Encoder Attention and Dynamic Kernel Update
- 用全局编码器注意力聚合多尺度特征,增强病变感知
- 动态核机制迭代优化分割结果,显著提升边界准确性
- 结构简化且计算高效,适合临床自动化诊断应用
肠道息肉分割是结直肠癌检测的关键步骤,但因其形状、大小多样及边界对比度低而极具挑战。本文提出一种新框架,结合动态核(DK)机制与全局编码器注意力(EA)模块,提升分割准确率与效率。DK机制由EA模块的全局上下文向量初始化,在解码阶段迭代优化预测结果,使模型聚焦于复杂息肉边界。EA模块通过融合所有编码层的多尺度信息,增强对关键病灶特征的捕捉能力。此外,解码器中引入统一通道适配(UCA),标准化各阶段特征维度,实现一致且高效的特征融合。实验在KvasirSEG和CVC ClinicDB数据集上验证,模型优于多个现有方法,获得更高Dice和交并比分数。同时,UCA简化了解码结构,降低计算开销而不牺牲精度。整体方法为息肉分割提供稳健且可扩展的解决方案,具备临床与自动诊断系统的应用前景。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Polyp segmentation is a critical step in colorectal cancer detection, yet it remains challenging due to the diverse shapes, sizes, and low contrast boundaries of polyps in medical imaging. In this work, we propose a novel framework that improves segmentation accuracy and efficiency by integrating a Dynamic Kernel (DK) mechanism with a global Encoder Attention module. The DK mechanism, initialized by a global context vector from the EA module, iteratively refines segmentation predictions across decoding stages, enabling the model to focus on and accurately delineate complex polyp boundaries. The EA module enhances the network's ability to capture critical lesion features by aggregating multi scale information from all encoder layers. In addition, we employ Unified Channel Adaptation (UCA) in the decoder to standardize feature dimensions across stages, ensuring consistent and computationally efficient information fusion. Our approach extends the lesion-aware kernel framework by introducing a more flexible, attention driven kernel initialization and a unified decoder design. Extensive experiments on the KvasirSEG and CVC ClinicDB benchmark datasets demonstrate that our model outperforms several state of the art segmentation methods, achieving superior Dice and Intersection over Union scores. Moreover, UCA simplifies the decoder structure, reducing computational cost without compromising accuracy. Overall, the proposed method provides a robust and adaptable solution for polyp segmentation, with promising applications in clinical and automated diagnostic systems.
