CSG-Mamba: A Convolutional Scoring Gating Vision State Space Network for Endoscopic Polyp Segmentation

arXiv:2608.14146v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate polyp segmentation is critical for computer-aided colonoscopy, yet endoscopic images often contain low-contrast boundaries, mucosal texture interference, specular highlights, and device-dependent appearance shifts. Vision State Space Models (SSMs) provide efficient long-range modeling with linear complexity, but existing Vision Mamba segmentation models typically convert 2D features into 1D scanning sequences, which may weaken local geometric continuity and over-smooth irregular contours. We propose CSG-Mamba, a convolutional scoring gating Vision State Space network for endoscopic polyp segmentation. Built on a VM-UNet-style asymmetric U-shaped encoder-decoder, CSG-Mamba inserts a Convolutional Scoring Gating (CSG) module at the semantically rich bottleneck. CSG generates a local spatial score map through pointwise and large-kernel depthwise convolutions and recalibrates state-space features by multiplicative gating. Experiments with three random seeds show that CSG-Mamba achieves 0.9220 Dice and 15.87 HD95 on Kvasir-SEG, and 0.7418 Dice and 0.6570 mIoU on CVC-ColonDB, outperforming the baselines on most overlap and recall metrics while maintaining competitive boundary accuracy.
