Deep learning-based MOS methods, especially deep end-to-end MOS methods, are actively investigated in this field. Foreground segmentation networks (FgSegNets) are representative deep end-to-endMOS methods proposed recently. This study explores a new mechanism to improve the spatial feature learningcapability of FgSegNets with relatively few brought parameters. Specifically, we propose an enhanced attention(EA) module, a parallel connection of an attention module and a lightweight enhancement module, with sequentialattention and residual attention as special cases. We also propose integrating EA with FgSegNet_v2 by taking thelightweight convolutional block attention module as the attention module and plugging EA module after the twoMaxpooling layers of the encoder. The derived new model is named FgSegNet_v2 EA. The ablation study verifiesthe effectiveness of the proposed EA module and integration strategy. The results on the CDnet2014 dataset,which depicts human activities and vehicles captured in different scenes, show that FgSegNet_v2 EA outperformsFgSegNet_v2 by 0.08% and 14.5% under the settings of scene dependent evaluation and scene independent evaluation, respectively, which indicates the positive effect of EA on improving spatial feature learning capability ofFgSegNet_v2.展开更多
