  1. *These configurations retain two encoder streams. “w/o GCT, w/ CSCF” uses two identical conv-MRGAM streams fused at each scale, while “w/o MRGAM, w/ CSCF” uses one transformer and one plain conv stream.
  2. We report precision, recall, and F1-score. GCT global context transformer, MRGAM multi-receptive grouped atrous mixer, CSCF cross-scale consensus fusion.
