UNet＋残差连接改进模块

### UNet 结合残差连接的改进模块

#### 改进模块的设计理念

UNet 和 ResNet 的结合旨在利用两者的优势：UNet 提供强大的上下文感知能力和特征融合机制，而ResNet 则通过引入残差连接解决了深层网络中的梯度消失问题。这种组合不仅增强了模型的学习能力，还提高了对复杂模式的理解。

在具体设计中，可以在UNet的基础上加入类似于ResNet中的残差块结构。这些残差块允许信息绕过某些层直接传递给后续层，从而促进更有效的反向传播过程并加速收敛速度[^1]。

对于编码器部分而言，在每个下采样阶段之后可以插入一个或多个带有跳跃连接的标准卷积单元；而在解码路径上，则是在每次上采样的时候同样采用类似的策略——即先执行一次转置卷积操作然后再附加来自对应位置处低分辨率特征图的信息作为额外输入通道传入下一个更高分辨率级别的处理节点之前[^4]。

#### Python代码实现示例

下面是一个简单的PyTorch框架下的UNet+Residual Block实现：

import torch.nn as nn


class DoubleConv(nn.Module):
    """(convolution => [BN] => ReLU) * 2"""

    def __init__(self, in_channels, out_channels):
        super().__init__()
        self.double_conv = nn.Sequential(
            nn.Conv2d(in_channels, out_channels, kernel_size=3, padding=1),
            nn.BatchNorm2d(out_channels),
            nn.ReLU(inplace=True),
            nn.Conv2d(out_channels, out_channels, kernel_size=3, padding=1),
            nn.BatchNorm2d(out_channels),
            nn.ReLU(inplace=True)
        )

    def forward(self, x):
        return self.double_conv(x)


class ResBlock(nn.Module):

    expansion = 1
    
    def __init__(self, inplanes, planes, stride=1, downsample=None):
        super(ResBlock, self).__init__()
        
        # 定义两个连续的3x3卷积层
        self.conv1 = nn.Conv2d(inplanes, planes, kernel_size=3, stride=stride,
                               padding=1, bias=False)
        self.bn1 = nn.BatchNorm2d(planes)

        self.relu = nn.ReLU(inplace=True)
        self.conv2 = nn.Conv2d(planes, planes, kernel_size=3, 
                               padding=1,bias=False)
        self.bn2 = nn.BatchNorm2d(planes)
        self.downsample = downsample
        
    
    def forward(self, x):
        residual = x 

        out = self.conv1(x)
        out = self.bn1(out)
        out = self.relu(out)

        out = self.conv2(out)
        out = self.bn2(out)

        if self.downsample is not None:
            residual = self.downsample(x)

        out += residual
        out = self.relu(out)

        return out



class UNetWithResidualConnections(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, n_channels, n_classes):
        super(UNetWithResidualConnections, self).__init__()

        factors = (1, 2, 4, 8, 16)

        self.encoder_layers = nn.ModuleList([
            DoubleConv(n_channels, 64*factors[i]) for i in range(len(factors)-1)])

        self.res_blocks = nn.ModuleList([ResBlock(64*factor, 64*(factor//2))for factor in reversed(factors[:-1])])

        self.decoder_layers = nn.ModuleList([
            DoubleConv((factors[-i]*64)+(factors[-i-1]*64), factors[-i-1]*64) for i in range(1,len(factors))
        ])

        self.outc = nn.Conv2d(64, n_classes, kernel_size=1)

    def forward(self, x):
        skips = []

        # Encoder path with skip connections and res blocks after each downsampling step.
        for layer in self.encoder_layers:
            x = layer(x)
            skips.append(x)
            x = F.max_pool2d(x, 2)

        # Decoder path where we concatenate the corresponding encoder feature maps to those from previous decoder layers before applying double convolutions.
        for idx,layer in enumerate(self.decoder_layers):
            upsampled_x = F.interpolate(x,scale_factor=(2,2),mode='bilinear',align_corners=True)
            concat_features = torch.cat([upsampled_x,skips[::-1][idx]],dim=1)
            x = layer(concat_features)
            
            if(idx<len(self.res_blocks)):
                x=self.res_blocks[idx](concat_features+x)

        logits = self.outc(x)
        return logits

此段代码展示了如何创建一个包含残差连接的UNet变体版本。其中`DoubleConv`类用于定义标准的双层卷积组件，而`ResBlock`则实现了基本形式的残差块逻辑。最后，整个网络由一系列这样的构件组成，并且在整个架构内部适当地加入了跳跃连接以增强性能表现。
