    To address challenges such as regional mis-segmentation and insufficient target localization accuracy in colorectal polyp segmentation, this paper proposes a colorectal polyp segmentation algorithm that integrates adaptive feature selection based on a Transformer. Firstly, the Transformer encoder is employed to extract multi-level feature representations, capturing multi-scale information from fine-grained to high-level semantics. Secondly, a dual-focus attention module is designed to enhance feature representation and recognition capabilities by integrating multi-scale information, spatial attention, and local detail features, significantly improving the localization accuracy of lesion areas. Thirdly, a hierarchical feature fusion module is introduced, which adopts a hierarchical aggregation strategy to strengthen the fusion of local and global features, enhancing the capture of complex regional features and effectively reducing mis-segmentation. Finally, a dynamic feature selection module is incorporated with adaptive selection and weighting mechanisms to optimize multi-resolution feature representation, eliminate redundant information, and focus on key areas. Experiments conducted on the Kvasir, CVC-ClinicDB, CVC-ColonDB, and ETIS datasets achieved Dice coefficients of 0.926, 0.941, 0.814, and 0.797, respectively. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm exhibits superior performance and application value in the task of colorectal polyp segmentation.
