CNN–Transformer Hybrid Architecture for Underwater Sonar Image Segmentation by Juan Lei, Huigang Wang, Zelin Lei, Jiayuan Li, Shaowei Rong

“…FLSSNet is built upon a CNN and Transformer backbone network, integrating four core submodules to address various technical challenges: (1) The asymmetric dual encoder–decoder (ADED) is capable of simultaneously extracting features from different modalities and systematically modeling both local contextual information and global spatial structure. (2) The Transformer feature converter (TFC) module optimizes the multimodal feature fusion process through feature transformation and channel compression. (3) The long-range correlation attention (LRCA) module enhances CNN’s ability to model long-range dependencies through the collaborative use of convolutional kernels, selective sequential scanning, and attention mechanisms, while effectively suppressing noise interference. (4) The recursive contour refinement (RCR) model refines edge contour information through a layer-by-layer recursive mechanism, achieving greater precision in boundary details. …”
