Abstract
Accurate segmentation of polyps in endoscopic images is pivotal for the early detection and diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Nonetheless, the varied appearance of polyp foregrounds and the intricate background interference significantly diminish the efficacy of pixel-level predictions. To address this issue, we propose a multi-scale perception network with triple-view attention (MPTA-Net) for polyp segmentation. The model primarily revolves around two core principles. The first integrates multiscale spatial information into the network's hierarchical encoding process to better preserve detailed polyp semantic information. The second introduces a triple-view attention mechanism that analyzes feature maps from three distinct perspectives to focus on and localize semantically relevant areas, thereby enhancing segmentation accuracy. Experimental results reveal that the proposed model outperforms existing mainstream segmentation models, effectively addressing under-segmentation, over-segmentation, and edge blurriness issues in polyp segmentation, thereby achieving better identification of challenging areas.
