• Authors: Xiaoqi Zhao, Lihe Zhang, Huchuan Lu
• Abstract summary: In clinical practice, precise polyp segmentation provides important information in the early detection of colorectal cancer. Most existing methods are based on U-shape structure and use element-wise addition or concatenation to fuse different level features progressively in decoder. We propose a multi-scale subtraction network (MSNet) to segment polyp from colonoscopy image.

• Abstract: More than 90\% of colorectal cancer is gradually transformed from colorectal polyps. In clinical practice, precise polyp segmentation provides important information in the early detection of colorectal cancer. Therefore, automatic polyp segmentation techniques are of great importance for both patients and doctors. Most existing methods are based on U-shape structure and use element-wise addition or concatenation to fuse different level features progressively in decoder. However, both the two operations easily generate plenty of redundant information, which will weaken the complementarity between different level features, resulting in inaccurate localization and blurred edges of polyps. To address this challenge, we propose a multi-scale subtraction network (MSNet) to segment polyp from colonoscopy image. Specifically, we first design a subtraction unit (SU) to produce the difference features between adjacent levels in encoder. Then, we pyramidally equip the SUs at different levels with varying receptive fields, thereby obtaining rich multi-scale difference information. In addition, we build a training-free network "LossNet" to comprehensively supervise the polyp-aware features from bottom layer to top layer, which drives the MSNet to capture the detailed and structural cues simultaneously. Extensive experiments on five benchmark datasets demonstrate that our MSNet performs favorably against most state-of-the-art methods under different evaluation metrics. Furthermore, MSNet runs at a real-time speed of $\sim$70fps when processing a $352 \times 352$ image. The source code will be publicly available at \url{https://github.com/Xiaoqi-Zhao-DLUT/MSNet}. \keywords{Colorectal Cancer \and Automatic Polyp Segmentation \and Subtraction \and LossNet.}

  Multi-Frequency Feature Fusion Polyp Network (M3FPolypSegNet) was proposed to decompose the input image into low/high/full-frequency components. We used three independent multi-frequency encoders to map multiple input images into a high-dimensional feature space. We designed three multi-task learning (i.e., region, edge, and distance) in four decoder blocks to learn the structural characteristics of the region.
