摘要

Accurate and effective skin lesion segmentation plays a crucial role in clinical diagnosis. Despite the success of recent deep learning methods, challenges such as irregular shapes, blurred boundaries, and low contrast remain. To address these issues, we propose a multi-scale feature fusion and hybrid attention network (MFFHA-Net). The model incorporates nonlinear spiking-based encoder–decoder fusion modules to enhance multi-scale feature integration. A hybrid attention module is introduced at the bottleneck to capture both global and local contextual information. In addition, a feature mapping function is designed to refine attention weights and improve detail representation. The experimental results on four publicly available datasets (ISIC 2016, 2017, 2018 and \(\textrm{PH}^2\) PH 2 ) show that MFFHA-Net achieves competitive performance, with Dice scores of 0.9338, 0.8806, 0.9212, and 0.9503, respectively.
