Improved MRI brain tumor instance segmentation model based on attention mechanism

To address the segmentation issues caused by the objective complexity of MRI brain tumor images, this paper proposes a novel instance segmentation model called Bi-CFpn network with an optimized neck. It adds a bottom-up enhancement path on the basis of FPN, and further introduces the attention mechanism into this enhanced path to form a more optimal attention coefficient for multi-scale tumor feature fusion. Experimental results show that the proposed can preserve the feature information of tumors in high-dimensional nonlinear spaces, enhances sensitivity to the spatial location of targets, and improves the accuracy of target detection and segmentation, while also takes computational efficiency into account.

Abstract

To address the segmentation issues caused by the objective complexity of MRI brain tumor images, this paper proposes a novel instance segmentation model called Bi-CFpn network with an optimized neck. It adds a bottom-up enhancement path on the basis of FPN, and further introduces the attention mechanism into this enhanced path to form a more optimal attention coefficient for multi-scale tumor feature fusion. Experimental results show that the proposed can preserve the feature information of tumors in high-dimensional nonlinear spaces, enhances sensitivity to the spatial location of targets, and improves the accuracy of target detection and segmentation, while also takes computational efficiency into account.
