在医疗领域,精确的皮肤病变分割对早期检测和准确诊断至关重要。尽管深度学习在图像处理方面取得了显著进展,现有方法仍难以有效应对不规则病变形状和低对比度的问题。为此,本文提出一种基于多尺度残差结构的编码器-解码器网络架构,能够从不同感受野中提取丰富的特征信息,有效识别病变区域。通过引入多分辨率多通道融合(MRCF)模块,该方法捕捉跨尺度特征,增强提取信息的清晰度与准确性。此外,提出交叉混合注意力模块(CMAM),重新定义注意力范围,并动态计算多上下文权重,提升特征捕捉的灵活性与深度,实现对细微特征的深入探索。为克服传统U-Net中跳接连接导致的信息丢失,引入外部注意力桥(EAB),促进解码器中信息的有效利用,补偿上采样过程中的信息损失。在多个皮肤病变分割数据集上的广泛实验评估表明,所提模型显著优于现有的基于Transformer和卷积神经网络的方法,展现出卓越的分割精度与鲁棒性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In the field of healthcare, precise skin lesion segmentation is crucial for the early detection and accurate diagnosis of skin diseases. Despite significant advances in deep learning for image processing, existing methods have yet to effectively address the challenges of irregular lesion shapes and low contrast. To address these issues, this paper proposes an innovative encoder-decoder network architecture based on multi-scale residual structures, capable of extracting rich feature information from different receptive fields to effectively identify lesion areas. By introducing a Multi-Resolution Multi-Channel Fusion (MRCF) module, our method captures cross-scale features, enhancing the clarity and accuracy of the extracted information. Furthermore, we propose a Cross-Mix Attention Module (CMAM), which redefines the attention scope and dynamically calculates weights across multiple contexts, thus improving the flexibility and depth of feature capture and enabling deeper exploration of subtle features. To overcome the information loss caused by skip connections in traditional U-Net, an External Attention Bridge (EAB) is introduced, facilitating the effective utilization of information in the decoder and compensating for the loss during upsampling. Extensive experimental evaluations on several skin lesion segmentation datasets demonstrate that the proposed model significantly outperforms existing transformer and convolutional neural network-based models, showcasing exceptional segmentation accuracy and robustness.
