Cross-Domain Few-Shot Segmentation via Ordinary Differential Equations over Time Intervals
- 基于微分方程与傅里叶变换构建一体化模块,统一处理特征探索与优化
- 仅用极少量支持样本即实现跨域显著性能提升,验证了方法有效性
- 适合需要低资源、高适应性的少样本分割场景,尤其跨域任务
跨域少样本分割(CD-FSS)旨在以极少量样本分割未见类别,同时缓解源域与目标域间的分布偏移。现有方法通常依赖多个独立模块增强跨域适应性,但模块间独立导致知识流动受阻,难以发挥协同潜力。本文提出一种基于常微分方程(ODE)与傅里叶变换的一体化模块,构建结构简洁的方法——少样本分割时间区间法(FSS-TIs)。FSS-TIs不仅探索无域依赖的特征空间,还能通过极少量支持样本的目标域微调实现显著性能提升。其核心在于:通过非线性变换与幅度/相位谱的随机扰动,模拟潜在的目标域数据分布;并利用ODE的解析解,转化为理论上可无限迭代的特征精炼过程,强化在有限支持样本下的学习能力。由此,领域无关特征探索与少样本学习问题可通过优化ODE内在参数共同解决。此外,在目标域微调中严格限制支持样本数量,贴合真实CD-FSS设置,且不增加额外标注成本。实验表明,FSS-TIs优于现有方法,深入消融实验进一步验证其跨域适应性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Cross-domain few-shot segmentation (CD-FSS) aims to segment unseen categories with very limited samples while alleviating the negative effects of domain shift between the source and target domains. At present, existing CD-FSS studies typically rely on multiple independent modules to enhance cross-domain adaptability. However, the independence among these modules hinders the effective flow of knowledge, making it difficult to fully leverage their collective potential. In contrast, this paper proposes an all-in-one module based on ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and the Fourier transform, resulting in a structurally concise method-Few-Shot Segmentation over Time Intervals (FSS-TIs). FSS-TIs not only explores a domain-agnostic feature space, but also achieves significant performance improvement through target-domain fine-tuning with extremely limited support samples. Specifically, the ODE modeling process incorporates nonlinear transformations and random perturbations of the amplitude and phase spectra, effectively simulating potential target-domain data distributions. Meanwhile, the analytical solution of the ODE is transformed into a theoretically infinitely iterable feature refinement process, thereby enhancing the learning capability under limited support samples. In this way, both the exploration of domain-agnostic features and the few-shot learning problem can be addressed through the optimization of the intrinsic parameters of the ODE. Moreover, during target-domain fine-tuning, we strictly constrain the support samples to match the settings of real-world CD-FSS tasks, without incurring additional annotation costs. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of FSS-TIs over existing CD-FSS methods, and in-depth ablation studies further validate the cross-domain adaptability of FSS-TIs.
