Abstract

U-Net has achieved great success in the field of image segmentation. However, some of the position information is lost in the process of convolution and downsampling, model is difficult to learn global and long-range semantic interaction information and lacks the ability to integrate global and local information. To extract rich local detail and contextual information, this paper proposed an image segmentation network called MLFCNet, combining a convolutional module and a capsule encoder. Based on the U-Net, this paper introduced a capsule network module to learn target positional information and the relationships between local and global information. At the same time, the proposed attention mechanism could retain the information discarded by the network pooling layer. This paper designed a new attention mechanism so that multi-scale features could be fused, where global information was captured and background noise was suppressed. In addition, it proposed a new local feature co-occurrence algorithm to better learn the relationship between local features. The proposed method was compared with nine methods on two public datasets, mIoU improves 4.7% and Dice coefficient improves 1.7% in liver medical images compared to the second highest performing model. Experimental results on the dataset of liver and dataset of human show that under the same experimental conditions, the proposed network is superior to U-Net and other mainstream image segmentation networks.
