新旧医学图像分割知识不丢失,靠原型引导与双对齐蒸馏。

Class Incremental Medical Image Segmentation via Prototype-Guided Calibration and Dual-Aligned Distillation

  • 按空间区域动态调节知识蒸馏强度,强化旧类可靠信息。
  • 在两个多器官分割数据集上超越现有方法,旧类性能更稳定。
  • 适合长期迭代更新的医疗图像分割场景,尤其关注知识保留。

类增量医学图像分割(CIMIS)旨在不依赖旧类别标签的情况下,保留已学类别的知识并学习新类别。现有方法存在两类问题:1)采用统一策略对待所有空间区域和特征通道,可能阻碍准确旧知识的保留;2)仅关注旧类全局原型与局部原型对齐,忽略新数据中旧类的局部表征,导致知识退化。为此,本文提出原型引导校准蒸馏(PGCD)与双对齐原型蒸馏(DAPD)。PGCD利用原型-特征相似性,在不同空间区域自适应调节类别特定蒸馏强度,有效增强可靠旧知识并抑制旧类误导信息。DAPD则同时对齐当前模型提取的旧类局部原型与全局原型及局部原型,进一步提升旧类别分割性能。在两个广泛使用的多器官分割基准上的全面评估表明,本方法显著优于现有最先进方法,展现出更强的鲁棒性与泛化能力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Class incremental medical image segmentation (CIMIS) aims to preserve knowledge of previously learned classes while learning new ones without relying on old-class labels. However, existing methods 1) either adopt one-size-fits-all strategies that treat all spatial regions and feature channels equally, which may hinder the preservation of accurate old knowledge, 2) or focus solely on aligning local prototypes with global ones for old classes while overlooking their local representations in new data, leading to knowledge degradation. To mitigate the above issues, we propose Prototype-Guided Calibration Distillation (PGCD) and Dual-Aligned Prototype Distillation (DAPD) for CIMIS in this paper. Specifically, PGCD exploits prototype-to-feature similarity to calibrate class-specific distillation intensity in different spatial regions, effectively reinforcing reliable old knowledge and suppressing misleading information from old classes. Complementarily, DAPD aligns the local prototypes of old classes extracted from the current model with both global prototypes and local prototypes, further enhancing segmentation performance on old categories. Comprehensive evaluations on two widely used multi-organ segmentation benchmarks demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art methods, highlighting its robustness and generalization capabilities.
