CD-PolypNet: Cross-Domain Polyp Segmentation Network with Internal Feature Distillation and Dual-Stream Boundary Focus via Large Vision Model
摘要
Leveraging large vision models (LVMs), such as the Segment Anything Model (SAM), in medical image analysis presents significant potential to enhance diagnostic efficiency. Existing SAM-based medical segmentation methods inadequately address two critical challenges: rapidly adapting LVMs to medical tasks through few-shot fine-tuning, and the inherent difficulty in distinguishing lesions from anatomically similar background regions in medical images. To overcome these limitations, we propose CD-PolypNet, a novel framework integrating a Semantic Supervision via Feature Distillation (SSFD) and an Edge-Guided Feature Branch (EFB). The SSFD module leverages feature distillation to transfer knowledge from SAM’s strongly supervised features into early-stage feature learning, enabling efficient domain adaptation of large vision models under data scarcity. Concurrently, EFB enhances boundary discrimination in lightweight decoder through a hybrid strategy combining the Canny operator and Edge-Frequency Gated Convolution (EFGConv), thereby prioritizing edge-aware feature extraction. Extensive experiments across five challenging medical imaging datasets demonstrate that our method not only surpasses state-of-the-art approaches in accuracy and robustness but also establishes a new paradigm for cross-domain adaptation of large vision models in specialized medical applications.
