We propose a lightweight skin lesions segmentation network (LSLS\u2010Net) to address the above problems. In the part of encoded feature extraction, we extract multi\u2010scale features through different sizes of convolution kernels to capture rich detailed features of the skin lesion area; then we use a feature fusion enhancement module to enhance the extracted features. That is, we design a lightweight feature extraction module that extracts global features, an edge feature enhancement module that enhances edge features, and a feature fusion attention module that fuses and enhances global features and edge features. At the same time, the obtained different feature information is interfused with the unenhanced features to obtain more abundant features. Experimental results on two public datasets, ISIC\u20102018 and PH2, show that compared with current mainstream medical image segmentation algorithms UNet, AttentionUNet, UNet++, DoubleU\u2010Net, CACDU\u2010Net, EIU\u2010Net, and HmsU\u2010Net, the proposed algorithm not only obtains excellent performance in the number of parameters and computational complexity but also has a clear outline and continuous edge for the segmentation of skin lesions, which has a better segmentation effect. Additionally, experiments on the PH2 dataset further show that LSLS\u2010Net possesses strong generalization capabilities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ima.70176","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,31]],"date-time":"2025-07-31T13:59:16Z","timestamp":1753970356000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/2.zoppoz.workers.dev:443\/https\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Lightweight Skin Lesion Segmentation Network With Multi\u2010Scale Feature Fusion Interaction"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Xiaofen","family":"Jia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Joint Research Center for Occupational Medicine and Health of IHM Anhui University of Science and Technology  Huainan China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Digital Intelligent Technology for Unmanned Coal Mining Anhui University of Science and Technology  Huainan China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/2.zoppoz.workers.dev:443\/https\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-2346-7429","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenyang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical and Information Engineering Anhui University of Science and Technology  Huainan China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhenhuan","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Joint Research Center for Occupational Medicine and Health of IHM Anhui University of Science and Technology  Huainan China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Digital Intelligent Technology for Unmanned Coal Mining Anhui University of Science and Technology  Huainan China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Baiting","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical and Information Engineering Anhui University of Science and Technology  Huainan China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sleep Medicine Center in High\u2010tech District Hospital and Department of Neurology First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Science and Technology, First People's Hospital of Huainan  Huainan China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cong","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sleep Medicine Center in High\u2010tech District Hospital and Department of Neurology First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Science and Technology, First People's Hospital of Huainan  Huainan China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamadermatol.2022.0160"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1615\/critreveukaryotgeneexpr.2020028454"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/1573405616666200129095242"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.media.2023.102863"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/ICSC58660.2023.10449804"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1631\/FITEE.2200299"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1631\/FITEE.1700404"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TPAMI.2016.2572683"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-319-24574-4_28"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_11_1","unstructured":"O.Oktay J.Schlemper L.
