HD-DinoMoE: A Class-Aware Hierarchical Dual Mixture-of-Experts Network for Scleral Anomaly Segmentation in Complex Acquisition Scenarios

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) ocular inspection provides empirical cues for assessing scleral surface anomalies, but its clinical use remains subjective and difficult to quantify. To support intelligent and quantifiable ocular inspection, this study presents the TCM-inspired Artificial Intelligence Ocular Auxiliary Diagnosis System (TAO) and focuses on pixel-level scleral surface anomaly segmentation. For clinical and user-acquired images affected by multi-source distributional discrepancies, diverse anomaly morphologies, and scleral specular reflection (SSR), we propose HD-DinoMoE, a class-aware hierarchical dual mixture-of-experts network. HD-DinoMoE combines class-aware dual-stream DINOv3 feature fusion with class-specific multi-expert decoding to segment Vessels, Yellow and Black Spots, and Blood Spots. A three-stage backbone-frozen routing strategy stabilizes dual-backbone adaptation; Progressive Confidence Penalty (PCP) Loss reduces high-confidence false positives and segmentation leakage in SSR regions; and Class-Aware Adaptive Sample Weighting (CA-ASW) balances sample- and class-level training contributions. We further construct the Multi-label Scleral Anomaly Segmentation Dataset (ML-SASD), a new benchmark with Clinical, Wild, and Mix settings and pixel-wise annotations for three anomaly categories. On ML-SASD-Mix, HD-DinoMoE achieves a mean Dice of 72.11% and a mean Intersection-over-Union of 58.44%, while maintaining favorable boundary localization and specular-region false-positive control. It also shows competitive generalization on the Vessels subset of the public SBVPI dataset. These results indicate that HD-DinoMoE provides a feasible segmentation solution for TAO under complex acquisition scenarios.

SPMamba-YOLO: An Underwater Object Detection Network Based on Multi-Scale Feature Enhancement and Global Context Modeling

Underwater object detection is a critical yet challenging research problem owing to severe light attenuation, color distortion, background clutter, and the small scale of underwater targets. To address these challenges, we propose SPMamba-YOLO, a novel underwater object detection network that integrates multi-scale feature enhancement with global context modeling. Specifically, a Spatial Pyramid Pooling Enhanced Layer Aggregation Network (SPPELAN) module is introduced to strengthen multi-scale feature aggregation and expand the receptive field, while a Pyramid Split Attention (PSA) mechanism enhances feature discrimination by emphasizing informative regions and suppressing background interference. In addition, a Mamba-based state space modeling module is incorporated to efficiently capture long-range dependencies and global contextual information, thereby improving detection robustness in complex underwater environments. Extensive experiments on the URPC2022 dataset demonstrate that SPMamba-YOLO outperforms the YOLOv8n baseline by more than 4.9\% in mAP@0.5, particularly for small and densely distributed underwater objects, while maintaining a favorable balance between detection accuracy and computational cost.
