仅用500个框标注,实现跨部位伤口分割与自动评分
Robust and Annotation-Free Wound Segmentation on Noisy Real-World Pressure Ulcer Images: Towards Automated DESIGN-R\textsuperscript{\textregistered} Assessment
- 用轻量YOLO检测器+预训练分割模型,无需重新训练
- 在3类真实伤口上,分割准确率提升23个百分点,评分准确率达94%
- 适合临床自动化评估,大幅减少标注工作量
精准伤口分割对自动化 DESIGN-R 评分至关重要。现有模型如 FUSegNet 主要基于足部溃疡数据集训练,难以泛化到其他身体部位。本文提出一种注释高效流程:结合轻量级 YOLOv11n 检测器与预训练 FUSegNet 分割模型,仅需500个手动标注的边界框即可实现鲁棒性能。该零微调方法有效弥合领域差距,可直接部署于多种伤口类型。在覆盖足部、骶骨和大转子区域的三个真实世界测试集上,相比原始 FUSegNet,平均 IoU 提升23个百分点,端到端 DESIGN-R 尺寸估计准确率从71%提高至94%(见表3)。结果表明,仅需500个标注区域,即可实现跨部位通用的可扩展分割,为真实世界 DESIGN-R 自动化铺平道路,降低像素级标注依赖,简化文档流程,支持临床中客观一致的伤口评分。我们将在公开发布训练好的检测器权重与配置,以促进可复现性和下游部署。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Purpose: Accurate wound segmentation is essential for automated DESIGN-R scoring. However, existing models such as FUSegNet, which are trained primarily on foot ulcer datasets, often fail to generalize to wounds on other body sites. Methods: We propose an annotation-efficient pipeline that combines a lightweight YOLOv11n-based detector with the pre-trained FUSegNet segmentation model. Instead of relying on pixel-level annotations or retraining for new anatomical regions, our method achieves robust performance using only 500 manually labeled bounding boxes. This zero fine-tuning approach effectively bridges the domain gap and enables direct deployment across diverse wound types. This is an advance not previously demonstrated in the wound segmentation literature. Results: Evaluated on three real-world test sets spanning foot, sacral, and trochanter wounds, our YOLO plus FUSegNet pipeline improved mean IoU by 23 percentage points over vanilla FUSegNet and increased end-to-end DESIGN-R size estimation accuracy from 71 percent to 94 percent (see Table 3 for details). Conclusion: Our pipeline generalizes effectively across body sites without task-specific fine-tuning, demonstrating that minimal supervision, with 500 annotated ROIs, is sufficient for scalable, annotation-light wound segmentation. This capability paves the way for real-world DESIGN-R automation, reducing reliance on pixel-wise labeling, streamlining documentation workflows, and supporting objective and consistent wound scoring in clinical practice. We will publicly release the trained detector weights and configuration to promote reproducibility and facilitate downstream deployment.
