Boundary-Aware Multi-scale Spiking Neural Network for Image Semantic Segmentation
摘要
Semantic segmentation of imagery is critical for remote sensing feature extraction and image generation, but faces challenges like microscopic structure recognition in high-resolution images and ambiguous semantic boundaries in complex scenes—leading to suboptimal precision, detail loss, and insufficient frequency-spatial feature integration. To address these, we propose a multiscale spatio-temporal boundary-aware semantic segmentation framework inspired by biological neural responses, consisting of three core modules: dual-path feature extraction (using spiking convolution kernels, DCT multi-band enhancement, and cross-domain RGB concatenation for info complementarity), multi-scale feature pyramid fusion (via bidirectional cross-scale interaction to integrate high-level semantics and low-level details), and boundary perception (three-stage architecture to extract edge heatmaps and reinforce weak boundaries). Experiments on WHU Satellite Datasets I/II and Qinqiang Dataset show superior performance over existing methods, effectively capturing boundary details in dense built-up and small-target regions while mitigating the “coarse shape” issue.
