ScribFormer: Transformer Makes CNN Work Better for Scribble-based Medical Image Segmentation (2024)
Journal Article
Li, Z., Zheng, Y., Shan, D., Yang, S., Li, Q., Wang, B., …Shen, D. (in press). ScribFormer: Transformer Makes CNN Work Better for Scribble-based Medical Image Segmentation. IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, https://doi.org/10.1109/tmi.2024.3363190

Most recent scribble-supervised segmentation methods commonly adopt a CNN framework with an encoder-decoder architecture. Despite its multiple benefits, this framework generally can only capture small-range feature dependency for the convolutional la...
