This paper introduces a Lightweight U-Net (LWU-Net) method for efficient gastro-intestinal tract segmentation in resource-constrained environments. The proposed model seeks to strike a balance between computational efficiency, memory efficiency, and segmentation accuracy. The model achieves competitive performance while reducing computational power needed with improvements including depth-wise separable convolutions and optimised network depth. The evaluation is conducted using data from a Kaggle competition-UW Madison gastrointestinal tract image segmentation, demonstrating the models effectiveness and generalizability. The findings demonstrate that the LWU-Net model has encouraging promise for precise medical diagnoses in resource-constrained settings, enabling effective image segmentation with slightly less than a fifth of as many trainable parameters as the U-Net model.
