- Abstract:
-
Segmentation of small target lesion areas, such as polyps in colon images, is essential for the prevention and diagnosis of colorectal cancer. However, existing methods face two main limitations: either the global context information cannot be captured robustly or the fine-grained detail information cannot be fully mined. To address these issues, this study proposes TFB-Net, a feature mining network for small target polyps that integrates boundary attention. The network consists of three core modules: First, a Transformer is used to establish long-term dependencies and supplement global information. Second, the feature mining module is designed to further optimize and enhance the learned features. Finally, the boundary inversion attention module strengthens attention to the boundary semantic space, which consequently improves regional discrimination. Extensive experiments were conducted on five small polyp target datasets, and the results show that TFB-Net achieves superior segmentation performance.
