Abstract
En 中文
Colorectal cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with early detection and removal of polyps being critical in preventing disease progression. Automated polyp segmentation, particularly in colonoscopy images, is a challenging task due to the variability in polyp appearance and the low contrast between polyps and surrounding tissues. In this work, we propose an edge-enhanced network (EENet) designed to address these challenges by integrating two novel modules: the covariance edge-enhanced attention (CEEA) and cross-scale edge enhancement (CSEE) modules. The CEEA module leverages covariance-based attention to enhance boundary detection, while the CSEE module bridges multi-scale features to preserve fine-grained edge details. To further improve the accuracy of polyp segmentation, we introduce a hybrid loss function that combines cross-entropy loss with edge-aware loss. Extensive experiments show that the EENet achieves a Dice score of 0.9208 and an IoU of 0.8664 on the Kvasir-SEG dataset, surpassing state-of-the-art models such as Polyp-PVT and PraNet. Furthermore, it records a Dice score of 0.9316 and an IoU of 0.8817 on the CVC-ClinicDB dataset, demonstrating its strong potential for clinical application in polyp segmentation. Ablation studies further validate the contribution of the CEEA and CSEE modules.
