1. Introduction

DuAT is initially described in PRCV.

Transformer-based models have been widely demon- strated to be successful in computer vision tasks by mod- elling long-range dependencies and capturing global rep- resentations. However, they are often dominated by fea- tures of large patterns leading to the loss of local details (e.g., boundaries and small objects), which are critical in medical image segmentation. To alleviate this problem, we propose a Dual-Aggregation Transformer Network called DuAT, which is characterized by two innovative designs, namely, the Global-to-Local Spatial Aggregation (GLSA) and Selective Boundary Aggregation (SBA) modules. The GLSA has the ability to aggregate and represent both global and local spatial features, which are beneficial for locat- ing large and small objects, respectively. The SBA mod- ule is used to aggregate the boundary characteristic from low-level features and semantic information from high-level features for better preserving boundary details and locat- ing the re-calibration objects. Extensive experiments in six benchmark datasets demonstrate that our proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art methods in the segmentation of skin lesion images, and polyps in colonoscopy images. In addition, our approach is more robust than existing meth- ods in various challenging situations such as small object segmentation and ambiguous object boundaries.
