New framework enhances lesion-focused image classification with attention-guided fusion

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel attention-guided deep learning framework designed to improve lesion-focused image classification. This framework, built upon DenseNet-121, adaptively fuses global contextual information with lesion-specific local features. By using Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM) to highlight relevant regions and a Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) for refined feature extraction, the model dynamically prioritizes between global and local representations. Evaluations on synthetic and benchmark datasets, including skin and guava leaf images, demonstrated superior performance over methods using only global or local features independently, achieving high accuracy rates.

    An Attention-Guided Global and Local Fusion Framework for Lesion-Focused Image Classification

    arXiv:2609.04791v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Lesion-focused image classification presents a core analytical challenge, as discriminative signals are often sparse, spatially dispersed, and easily obscured by background noise, while conventional convolutional neural networks (CN…
