Popis
Shrnutí:CNNs and Transformers have significantly advanced the domain of medical image segmentation. The integration of their strengths facilitates rich feature extraction but also introduces the challenge of mixed multi-scale feature fusion. To overcome this issue, we propose an innovative deep medical image segmentation framework termed Sub-pixel Multi-scale Fusion Network (SMFNet), which effectively incorporates the sub-pixel multi-scale feature fusion results of CNN and Transformer into the architecture. In particular, our design consists of three effective and practical modules. Primarily, we utilize the Sub-pixel Convolutional Module to synchronize the extracted features at multiple scales to a consistent resolution. In the next place, we develop the Three-level Enhancement Module to learn features from adjacent layers and perform information exchange. Lastly, we leverage the Hierarchical Adaptive Gate to fuse information from other contextual levels through the Sub-pixel Convolutional Module. Extensive experiments on the Synapse, ACDC, and ISIC 2018 datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed SMFNet, and our method is superior to other competitive CNN-based or Transformer-based segmentation methods.
