Abstract

This research is dedicated to enhancing medical image segmentation through the innovative Laplacian-Former algorithm, which introduces novel and responsive techniques in image processing. Given the crucial role of precise image segmentation in disease diagnosis, challenges such as achieving high accuracy, sensitivity, and reliability persist in existing methods, necessitating advanced approaches. The method proposed based on Laplacian-Former is designed to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of medical image segmentation. The algorithm addresses limitations in current segmentation techniques, providing robust solutions for medical imaging tasks. Through a detailed analysis of experimental outcomes and a comparative assessment of Laplacian-Former against existing techniques, it is evident that this approach not only contributes to segmentation accuracy but also enhances the sensitivity and reliability of medical images substantially. This study introduces a flexible architecture adaptable to various segmentation tasks, with a novel focus on polyp segmentation in colonoscopy images. The results obtained suggest that employing Laplacian-Former as an innovative technique in medical image segmentation can lead to enhanced disease detection accuracy and performance. Evaluation on the widely recognized Kvasir dataset demonstrates outstanding results, achieving top performance metrics, even with a small training dataset. Data augmentation methods were applied to improve training, further enhancing model proficiency. This investigation vitrines the algorithm's value in advancing medical image processing and research. The Laplacian-Former holds significant promise for future medical imaging advancements and improved disease diagnosis.
