The invention discloses an
airway segmentation network based on multi-scale directional attention and local graph
convolution fusion, and relates to the field of medical
image processing, a U-Net type three-dimensional
encoder-decoder structure is adopted, space detail information is reserved and gradient propagation is promoted through jump connection, an
encoder is used for extracting multi-level semantic features, and the decoder is used for extracting multi-level semantic features; a decoder gradually recovers spatial resolution through jump connection, a segmentation result is obtained through a
convolution layer and a
Sigmoid activation function, an
airway segmentation network integrates a multi-scale direction attention mechanism and a local graph
convolution attention mechanism, enhancement is carried out in combination with relative position coding, the identification capability of small
airway branches is improved, and boundary
false detection is reduced. According to the method, the recognition rate of the
tail end fine
bronchus is remarkably improved, breakage and
leak detection are reduced, the
connectivity and topological integrity of the airway tree are enhanced, the model is more sensitive to feature response of small airways, fuzzy boundaries and low-contrast areas, the continuity of the output airway model is higher, and the method can be directly used for bronchoscope
robot navigation and path planning.
