用粗糙正负标注训练分割模型,无需精细标注。

Emerging Semantic Segmentation from Positive and Negative Coarse Label Learning

  • 双卷积网络分离噪声标注中的真实标签分布。
  • 在粗标注占比低时仍显著优于现有方法。
  • 适合医疗图像等专家标注稀缺场景。

大规模标注数据对训练分割模型至关重要,但像素级标注耗时、易错且需稀缺的专业标注者,尤其在医学影像中。相比之下,粗略标注更快速、廉价,甚至非专家也能完成。本文提出利用图像中正类(目标)和负类(背景)的粗糙草图(即使包含噪声像素)来训练卷积神经网络进行语义分割。我们设计了一种方法,通过两个耦合的卷积神经网络从纯噪声的粗标注中学习真实的分割标签分布,其分离机制基于对噪声训练标注特征的高保真度建模。我们还引入互补标签学习,以增强对负标签分布的估计。为验证方法特性,我们首先在基于MNIST的模拟分割数据集上测试。随后,在公开数据集上进行定量实验:Cityscapes用于多类分割,视网膜图像用于医学应用。所有实验均表明,我们的方法优于当前最优方法,尤其在粗标注比例远低于密集标注的情况下表现突出。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Large annotated datasets are vital for training segmentation models, but pixel-level labeling is time-consuming, error-prone, and often requires scarce expert annotators, especially in medical imaging. In contrast, coarse annotations are quicker, cheaper, and easier to produce, even by non-experts. In this paper, we propose to use coarse drawings from both positive (target) and negative (background) classes in the image, even with noisy pixels, to train a convolutional neural network (CNN) for semantic segmentation. We present a method for learning the true segmentation label distributions from purely noisy coarse annotations using two coupled CNNs. The separation of the two CNNs is achieved by high fidelity with the characters of the noisy training annotations. We propose to add a complementary label learning that encourages estimating negative label distribution. To illustrate the properties of our method, we first use a toy segmentation dataset based on MNIST. We then present the quantitative results of experiments using publicly available datasets: Cityscapes dataset for multi-class segmentation, and retinal images for medical applications. In all experiments, our method outperforms state-of-the-art methods, particularly in the cases where the ratio of coarse annotations is small compared to the given dense annotations.
