CoFi: A Fast Coarse-to-Fine Few-Shot Pipeline for Glomerular Basement Membrane Segmentation

  • 先用3张图训练轻量网络生成粗分割,再用形态感知点提示优化结果。
  • Dice达74.54%,推理速度1.9 FPS,兼顾精度与效率。
  • 极低标注需求,适合肾病理研究与临床转化,代码已开源。

在电子显微镜图像中准确分割肾小球基底膜(GBM)对于量化膜厚度及支持多种肾脏疾病诊断至关重要。尽管监督深度学习方法可实现高精度分割,但其对大量像素级标注的依赖使其难以应用于临床流程。少样本学习虽能减轻标注负担,却常难以捕捉GBM分析所需的精细结构细节。本研究提出CoFi,一种快速高效的粗到精少样本分割流水线,专用于EM图像中的GBM勾画。CoFi首先仅使用三张标注图像训练轻量神经网络,生成初始粗分割掩码;该掩码经形态感知剪枝后生成高质量点提示,进而引导SAM进行精细化分割。所提方法在测试集上取得74.54%的Dice系数,推理速度达1.9 FPS。结果表明,CoFi不仅显著降低标注与计算开销,且实现准确可靠的分割效果。其高效性与低标注需求使其适用于科研,并具备向临床病理应用转化的潜力。代码已公开于:https://github.com/ddrrnn123/CoFi。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Accurate segmentation of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) in electron microscopy (EM) images is fundamental for quantifying membrane thickness and supporting the diagnosis of various kidney diseases. While supervised deep learning approaches achieve high segmentation accuracy, their reliance on extensive pixel-level annotation renders them impractical for clinical workflows. Few-shot learning can reduce this annotation burden but often struggles to capture the fine structural details necessary for GBM analysis. In this study, we introduce CoFi, a fast and efficient coarse-to-fine few-shot segmentation pipeline designed for GBM delineation in EM images. CoFi first trains a lightweight neural network using only three annotated images to produce an initial coarse segmentation mask. This mask is then automatically processed to generate high-quality point prompts with morphology-aware pruning, which are subsequently used to guide SAM in refining the segmentation. The proposed method achieved exceptional GBM segmentation performance, with a Dice coefficient of 74.54% and an inference speed of 1.9 FPS. We demonstrate that CoFi not only alleviates the annotation and computational burdens associated with conventional methods, but also achieves accurate and reliable segmentation results. The pipeline's speed and annotation efficiency make it well-suited for research and hold strong potential for clinical applications in renal pathology. The pipeline is publicly available at: https://github.com/ddrrnn123/CoFi.
