The invention provides a lightweight medical
image segmentation network (ABUNet) based on
asymmetry and an implementation method thereof, and the method comprises the following steps: S1, in a coding stage, proposing a feature subtraction
convolution block (FSCB), and implementing O (C2 / N)-level parameter compression (N is a group number) by using channel feature difference operation; in a lightweight scene, the FSCB can effectively reduce feature redundancy, directly highlights key features of a
lesion area, and is superior to traditional feature operation based on addition and multiplication; s2, in a decoding stage, a feature addition
convolution block (FACB) is designed, a multi-
branch feature fusion mechanism is adopted, and the alignment precision of different feature representations is improved under the condition that the calculation cost is not increased; and S3, in a bridging stage, a multi-scale deep convolutional block (MSDB) is constructed, and the multi-scale context modeling capability of the model is remarkably enhanced by utilizing heterogeneous kernel
parallel computing, so that more accurate
lesion feature extraction is realized. And S4, in a
network integration stage, an FSCB module is integrated into an
encoder part of a U-shaped architecture, an FACB module is integrated into a decoder part, and an MSDB module is used for
processing grouping characteristics in a bridging module to construct an asymmetric model ABUNet. The asymmetric architecture overcomes the limitation of symmetry of a traditional
encoder-decoder, and effectively balances high segmentation precision and calculation efficiency.
