Abstract

Dermoscopy is a non-invasive dermatology imaging and widely used in dermatology clinic. In order to screen and detect melanoma automatically, skin lesion segmentation in dermoscopy images is of great significance. In this paper, we propose an adaptive scale network (ASNet) for skin lesion segmentation in dermoscopy images. A ResNet34 with pretrained weights is applied as the encoder to extract more representative features. A novel adaptive scale module is designed and inserted into the top of the encoder path to dynamically fuse multi-scale information, which can self-learn based on spatial attention mechanism. Our proposed method is 5-fold cross-validated on a public dataset from Challenge Lesion Boundary Segmentation in ISIC-2018, which includes 2594 images from different types of skin lesion with different resolutions. The Jaccard coefficient, Dice coefficient and Accuracy are 82.15±0.328%, 88.880.390% and 96.00±0.228%, respectively. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed ASNet.
