Abstract
The automatic segmentation of lung lesions from COVID-19 computed tomography (CT) images is helpful in establishing a quantitative model to diagnose and treat COVID-19. To this end, this study proposes a lightweight segmentation network called the SuperMini-Seg. We propose a new module called the transformer parallel convolution module (TPCB), which introduces both transformer and convolution operations in one module. SuperMini-seg adopts the structure of a double-branch parallel to downsample the image and designs a gated attention mechanism in the middle of the two parallel branches. At the same time, the attentive hierarchical spatial pyramid (AHSP) module and criss-cross attention module are adopted, and more than 100K parameters are present in the model. At the same time, the model is scalable, and the parameter quantity of SuperMini-seg-V2 reaches more than 70K. Compared with other advanced methods, the segmentation accuracy was almost reached the state-of-art method. The calculation efficiency was high, which is convenient for practical deployment.
