MPUNet: 基于多尺度特征增强和池化注意力的皮肤病分割网络

MPUNet: Multi-Scale Feature Enhancement and Pooling Attention Network for Skin Disease Segmentation

  • 摘要: 皮肤病的早期诊断高度依赖于皮肤镜图像中病变区域的准确分割. 然而病变区域通常具有边界模糊、形状不规则等特点, 同时图像还受到毛发、阴影等干扰因素的影响, 难以有效地提取关键特征信息, 这些因素对皮肤病的分割结果影响很大. 为了解决上述问题, 提出一种皮肤病分割网络MPUNet. 该网络融合多尺度特征增强模块(MS-Module)和池化注意力模块(PL-Module). MS-Module通过引入区分性的空间先验信息, 在高和宽2个方向上进行通道自适应校准与融合, 有效地增强多语义信息的表达能力和对病变边缘区域的特征提取能力; PL-Module采用池化注意力机制强化全局上下文特征的提取, 通过激活相关通道抑制毛发、血管等干扰因素对分割性能的影响, 同时缓解训练过程中的梯度消失现象. 在ISIC2018, ISIC2017和PH2公开皮肤病分割数据集上进行实验的结果表明, MPUNet在mIoU指标平均提升1.57个百分点.

     

    Abstract: Early diagnosis of skin diseases relies heavily on accurate segmentation of lesions in dermoscopic images. However, lesions often have blurred boundaries and irregular shapes. Furthermore, images are often af-fected by interference from factors such as hair and shadows, making it difficult to effectively extract key features. These factors significantly impact the segmentation results. To address these issues, a skin disease segmentation network (MPUNet) is proposed. This network integrates a multi-scale feature enhancement module (MS-Module) and a pooling attention module (PL-Module). The MS-Module incorporates discrim-inative spatial prior information and adaptively aligns and fuses channels in both height and width, effec-tively enhancing the representation of multi-semantic information and the ability to extract features from lesion edges. The PL-Module employs a pooling attention mechanism to enhance the extraction of global contextual features. By activating relevant channels, it suppresses the impact of interference from factors such as hair and blood vessels on segmentation performance, while also alleviating the vanishing gradient phenomenon during training. Experimental results on the ISIC2018, ISIC2017, and PH2 public skin disease segmentation datasets demonstrate that MPUNet achieves an average improvement of 1.57 percentage points in the mean Intersection over Union (MIOU) metric.
