CLC-YOLO: A Compact Channel-Gated Prototype Network for Real-Time Leakage-Aware Breast Ultrasound Lesion Segmentation

Reliable breast ultrasound lesion segmentation requires accurate boundaries and evaluation that prevents patients or duplicate images from crossing data splits. We propose Channel Local Contrast (CLC), a compact refinement of the YOLO26 segmentation prototype head. CLC adds a fixed local high-pass residual controlled by 64 zero-initialized, bounded channel gates. Baseline and CLC were compared in five matched folds on each of four breast ultrasound datasets. BUS-BRA used patient-disjoint outer tests with separate inner validation. BUS-UCLM and BrEaST used patient-grouped validation folds; BUSI used duplicate-component groups because patient identifiers are unavailable. Group-macro Dice increased by 1.68, 3.11, 1.12, and 2.45 percentage points on BUS-BRA, BUS-UCLM, BUSI, and BrEaST, respectively. Only the BUS-BRA paired 95% confidence interval excluded zero. CLC adds 64 parameters and 0.0049 giga floating-point operations (GFLOPs). At 640 pixels, single-T4, batch-one, 16-bit floating-point (FP16) TensorRT graph times were 2.1478 ms for CLC and 2.0512 ms for baseline, excluding preprocessing and postprocessing. CLC increased group-macro Dice across all four datasets with a measured T4 forward-pass overhead of 0.0966 ms. Code: https://github.com/mfazrinizar/CLC-YOLO

Aqua Boundary-Saliency Attention Module for Lightweight Underwater Salient Instance Segmentation Detection Transformer

Underwater instance segmentation integrates pixel-level mask prediction and instance-level discrimination for marine resource exploration, ecological monitoring, and underwater robotic perception. Recent prompt-based and auxiliary-modality methods improve mask quality, but their reliance on large foundation models, prompt generation, or extra modality estimation complicates efficient deployment. This work introduces Lightweight Underwater Salient Instance Segmentation Detection Transformer (LUSIS-DETR), a compact detection-transformer framework built around the Aqua Boundary-Saliency Attention Module (AquaBSAM). AquaBSAM embeds underwater boundary, contrast, attenuation, chroma, dark-channel, and center-prior cues into DINOv2-initialized multi-scale features through bounded residual modulation, while auxiliary mask supervision and small-object copy-paste are training-only. Extensive evaluation on four recent underwater instance segmentation datasets, UIIS, UIIS10K, USIS10K, and USIS16K, shows competitively leading performance against previous state-of-the-art works across category-aware and salient-instance protocols. TensorRT half-precision (FP16) benchmarking on an NVIDIA T4 graphics processing unit (GPU) achieves 4.31-6.34 milliseconds (ms) latency, supporting real-time inference under an accessible reproduction setting.

Domain-Guided YOLO26 with Composite BCE-Dice-Lovász Loss for Multi-Class Fetal Head Ultrasound Segmentation

Segmenting fetal head structures from prenatal ultrasound remains a practical bottleneck in obstetric imaging. The current state-of-the-art baseline, proposed alongside the published dataset, adapts the Segment Anything Model with per-class Dice and Lovász losses but still depends on bounding-box prompts at test time. We build a prompt-free pipeline on top of YOLO26-Seg that jointly detects and segments three structures, Brain, Cavum Septi Pellucidi (CSP), and Lateral Ventricles (LV), in a single forward pass. Three modifications are central to our approach: (i) a composite BCE-Dice-Lovász segmentation loss with inverse-frequency class weighting, injected into the YOLO26 training loop via runtime monkey-patching; (ii) domain-guided copy-paste augmentation that transplants minority-class structures while respecting their anatomical location relative to the brain boundary; and (iii) inter-patient stratified splitting to prevent data leakage. On 575 held-out test images, the composite loss variant reaches a mean Dice coefficient of 0.9253, exceeding the baseline (0.9012) by 2.68 percentage points, despite reporting over three foreground classes only, whereas the baseline's reported mean includes the easy background class. We further ablate each component and discuss annotation-quality and class-imbalance effects on CSP and LV performance.
