Resumen
The accurate segmentation of colorectal polyps is of great significance for the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer. However, the segmentation of colorectal polyps faces complex problems such as low contrast in the peripheral region of salient images, blurred borders, and diverse shapes. In addition, the number of traditional UNet network parameters is large and the segmentation effect is average. To overcome these problems, an innovative nonlinear activation-free uncertainty contextual attention network is proposed in this paper. Based on the UNet network, an encoder and a decoder are added to predict the saliency map of each module in the bottom-up flow and pass it to the next module. We use Res2Net as the backbone network to extract image features, enhance image features through simple parallel axial channel attention, and obtain high-level features with global semantics and low-level features with edge details. At the same time, a nonlinear n on-activation network is introduced, which can reduce the complexity between blocks, thereby further enhancing image feature extraction. This work conducted experiments on five commonly used polyp segmentation datasets, and the experimental evaluation metrics from the mean intersection over union, mean Dice coefficient, and mean absolute error were all improved, which can show that our method has certain advantages over existing methods in terms of segmentation performance and generalization performance.
