Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Attaining global context along with local dependencies is of paramount importance for achieving highly accurate segmentation of objects from image frames and is challenging while developing deep learning-based biomedical image segmentation. Several transformer-based models have been proposed to handle this issue in biomedical image segmentation. Despite this, segmentation accuracy remains an ongoing challenge, as these models often fall short of the target range due to their limited capacity to capture critical local and global contexts. However, the quadratic computational complexity is the main limitation of these models. Moreover, a large dataset is required to train those models.
