- Abstract
Aiming at the problems that the edge of melanoma image is fuzzy, the contrast with the background is low, and the hair occlusion makes it difficult to segment accurately, this paper proposes a model MSCNet for melanoma segmentation based on U-net frame. Firstly, a multi-scale pyramid fusion module is designed to reconstruct the skip connection and transmit global information to the decoder. Secondly, the contextural information conduction module is innovatively added to the top of the encoder. The module provides different receptive fields for the segmented target by using the hole convolution with different expansion rates, so as to better fuse multi-scale contextural information. In addition, in order to suppress redundant information in the input image and pay more attention to melanoma feature information, global channel attention mechanism is introduced into the decoder. Finally, In order to solve the problem of lesion class imbalance, this paper uses a combined loss function. The algorithm of this paper is verified on ISIC 2017 and ISIC 2018 public datasets. The experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm has better accuracy for melanoma segmentation compared with other CNN-based image segmentation algorithms.
