准确分割视网膜血管对多种眼病及系统性疾病临床诊断至关重要。传统卷积神经网络(CNN)存在难以捕捉长程依赖和复杂非线性关系的固有局限。为此,本文提出自适应双分支柯尔莫戈罗夫-阿诺德UNet(DB-KAUNet)用于视网膜血管分割。该模型设计了异构双分支编码器(HDBE),包含并行的CNN与Transformer路径,通过新型KANConv与KAT模块交替排列,实现全面特征建模。为优化特征处理,引入跨分支通道交互(CCI)模块促进路径间通道特征协同;采用基于注意力的空间特征增强(SFE)模块提升空间特征并融合双路输出。在此基础上,进一步开发几何自适应融合的空间特征增强(SFE-GAF)模块,利用自适应采样精准聚焦真实血管结构,强化显著血管特征的同时显著降低背景噪声与计算开销。在DRIVE、STARE、CHASE_DB1数据集上的大量实验表明,DB-KAUNet不仅取得领先分割性能,且表现出优异鲁棒性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Accurate segmentation of retinal vessels is crucial for the clinical diagnosis of numerous ophthalmic and systemic diseases. However, traditional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) methods exhibit inherent limitations, struggling to capture long-range dependencies and complex nonlinear relationships. To address the above limitations, an Adaptive Dual Branch Kolmogorov-Arnold UNet (DB-KAUNet) is proposed for retinal vessel segmentation. In DB-KAUNet, we design a Heterogeneous Dual-Branch Encoder (HDBE) that features parallel CNN and Transformer pathways. The HDBE strategically interleaves standard CNN and Transformer blocks with novel KANConv and KAT blocks, enabling the model to form a comprehensive feature representation. To optimize feature processing, we integrate several critical components into the HDBE. First, a Cross-Branch Channel Interaction (CCI) module is embedded to facilitate efficient interaction of channel features between the parallel pathways. Second, an attention-based Spatial Feature Enhancement (SFE) module is employed to enhance spatial features and fuse the outputs from both branches. Building upon the SFE module, an advanced Spatial Feature Enhancement with Geometrically Adaptive Fusion (SFE-GAF) module is subsequently developed. In the SFE-GAF module, adaptive sampling is utilized to focus on true vessel morphology precisely. The adaptive process strengthens salient vascular features while significantly reducing background noise and computational overhead. Extensive experiments on the DRIVE, STARE, and CHASE_DB1 datasets validate that DB-KAUNet achieves leading segmentation performance and demonstrates exceptional robustness.
