CTH-Net: A CNN and Transformer hybrid network for skin lesion segmentation.
IScience 2024 April 20
Automatically and accurately segmenting skin lesions can be challenging, due to factors such as low contrast and fuzzy boundaries. This paper proposes a hybrid encoder-decoder model (CTH-Net) based on convolutional neural network (CNN) and Transformer, capitalizing on the advantages of these approaches. We propose three modules for skin lesion segmentation and seamlessly connect them with carefully designed model architecture. Better segmentation performance is achieved by introducing SoftPool in the CNN branch and sandglass block in the bottleneck layer. Extensive experiments were conducted on four publicly accessible skin lesion datasets, ISIC 2016, ISIC 2017, ISIC 2018, and PH2 to confirm the efficacy and benefits of the proposed strategy. Experimental results show that the proposed CTH-Net provides better skin lesion segmentation performance in both quantitative and qualitative testing when compared with state-of-the-art approaches. We believe the CTH-Net design is inspiring and can be extended to other applications/frameworks.
