ESDMR-Net: A lightweight network with expand-squeeze and dual multiscale residual connections for medical image segmentation

Tariq Mahmood Khan, Syed Saud Naqvi, Erik Meijering

Abstract: Highlights•Multiscale feature extraction to understand contextual dependencies.•The expand-squeeze operation facilitates multiscale information extraction.•Dual-stream information flow within encoder–decoder pairs.•The use of DMR blocks in skip connections improves the information flow.•The deep structure of the network allows it to learn more features.
