Zusammenfassung:Medical image segmentation has an important application value in the modern medical field, it can help doctors accurately locate and analyze the tissue structure, lesion areas, and organ boundaries in the image, which provides key information support for clinical diagnosis and treatment, but there are still a large number of problems in the accuracy of the segmentation, so in this paper, we propose a medical image segmentation network combining the Hadamard product and dual-scale attention gate (DAU-Net). First, the Hadamard product is introduced in the structure of the fifth layer of the codec for element-by-element multiplication, which can generate feature representations with more representational capabilities. Second, in the jump connection module, we propose a dual scale attention gating (DSAG), which can highlight more valuable features and achieve more efficient jump connections. Finally, in the decoder feature structure, the final segmentation result is obtained by aggregating the feature information provided by each part, and decoding is achieved by up-sampling operation. Through experiments on two public datasets, Luna and Isic2017, DAU-Net is able to extract feature information more efficiently using different modules and has better segmentation results compared to classical segmentation models such as U-Net and U-Net++, and also verifies the effectiveness of the model.
