VARC-UNet: A Variational Attention Framework with Content-Aware Upsampling for Nicotine Stain Image Segmentation

2026-04-28

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Nicotine staining on fingers is a clinically relevant biomarker strongly associated with chronic tobacco exposure and addiction severity. This yellowish-brown discoloration, caused by prolonged handling of smoking substances, has been linked to increased risk of smoking-associated diseases, including peripheral arterial disease, lung carcinoma, and higher hospital readmission rates. Rec...
