摘要
Deep learning produces advantages in solving class imbalance due to its powerful ability to extract features. However, its segmentation accuracy and efficiency can still be improved. A medical image segmentation algorithm via triplet interactive attention network is proposed in this paper. A triplet interactive attention module is designed and embedded into the feature extraction process. The module is focused on features in the channel and spatial dimensions jointly, capturing cross-dimensional interactive information. Thus, important features are in focus and target locations are highlighted. Moreover, pixel position-aware loss is employed to further mitigate the impact of class imbalance. Experiments on medical image datasets show that the proposed method yields better performance. © 2021, Science Press. All right reserved.
