Whereas feature pyramid network (FPN) and its variants are widely used in polyp segmentation, inherent limitations existing in FPN include: (1) repeated upsampling degrades fine details, reducing small polyp segmentation accuracy and (2) naive feature fusion (e.g., summation) inadequately captures global context, limiting performance on complex structures. To address limitations, we propose a cascaded aggregation network (CANet) that systematically integrates multi-level features for refined representation. CANet adopts PVT transformer as the backbone to extract robust multi-level representations and introduces a cascade aggregation module (CAM) that enriches semantic features without sacrificing spatial details. CAM adopts a top-down enhancement pathway, where high-level features progressively guide the fusion of multiscale information, enhancing semantic representation while preserving spatial details. CANet further integrates a multiscale context-aware module (MCAM) and a residual-based fusion module (RFM). MCAM applies parallel convolutions with diverse kernel sizes and dilation rates to low-level features, enabling fine-grained multiscale extraction of local details and enhancing scene understanding. RFM fuses these local features with high-level semantics from CAM, enabling effective cross-level integration. Experiments show that CANet outperforms SOTA methods in in- and out-of-distribution tests.</p>","PeriodicalId":50379,"journal":{"name":"IET Systems Biology","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ietresearch.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/syb2.70036","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144998950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A Residual-based Scale Fusion Module (RSFM) is further designed to merge low-level features, which preserves high-frequency details including edges and textures.

Nevertheless, traditional cuffed BP estimation devices are unable to perform continuous BP estimation. Therefore, there has been a growing interest in developing continuous cuffless BP estimation devices. In order to reduce hardware costs, photoplethysmograms (PPGs) are acquired and their integer order derivative signals are computed to extract features related to BP. Then, conventional machine learning models are developed to estimate BP values. However, the nonlinear characteristics of the heart and blood vessels introduce fractional delays to blood flow. Hence, the traditional integer order derivatives of PPGs may not yield high accuracy. To address this issue, this paper proposes a cuffless BP estimation method based on fractional order derivatives (FODs) of PPGs. First, singular spectrum analysis (SSA) is employed to preprocess the PPGs. Then, the fractional order derivatives of the preprocessed PPGs are calculated. Second, a multi-channel Gramian angular field (GAF)-based image encoding method is applied to both the integer order and fractional order derivatives of the PPGs to generate two-dimensional (2D) images. Then, the encoded images from each individual channel are combined to form a multi-channel encoded image. Third, a residual neural network with 18 layers (ResNet-18) and a U-architecture convolutional network (U-Net) are respectively used for BP estimation. To evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed method, computer numerical simulations are conducted using the Queensland dataset. The results show that our proposed method yields the lower errors and higher correlation coefficients compared to existing methods. Furthermore, our proposed method outperforms both the single-channel and three-channel image encoding methods in terms of errors and correlation coefficients.</p>","PeriodicalId":50379,"journal":{"name":"IET Systems Biology","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ietresearch.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/syb2.70032","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144805837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
