用少量标注+伪标签,让眼底图像质量评估更准且可解释。

Semi-Supervised Multi-Task Learning for Interpretable Quality As- sessment of Fundus Images

  • 混合半监督多任务学习,用伪标签补充细节标注
  • 在EyeQ和DeepDRiD上F1提升至0.875和0.778
  • 输出光照、清晰度等可指导重拍的解释性结果

视网膜图像质量评估(RIQA)支持眼部疾病辅助诊断。然而,现有工具仅判断整体质量,无法指出采集缺陷以指导重拍,主要因详细标注成本过高。本文提出一种结合人工标注整体质量与伪标签细节信息的混合半监督多任务学习方法,在无需大量人工标注的前提下,实现更具可解释性的RIQA模型。伪标签由小样本训练的教师模型生成,用于微调预训练模型。采用ResNet-18骨干网络,在EyeQ和DeepDRiD数据集上,多任务模型的F1分别达0.875和0.778,优于单任务基线(0.863和0.763)。多数细节预测任务性能与教师模型无显著差异(p > 0.05)。在本文新发布的EyeQ子集上,模型表现接近专家水平,表明伪标签噪声与专家间变异一致。核心发现是:该方法不仅提升整体质量评估,还提供光照、清晰度、对比度等可解释的采集条件反馈,增强可解释性且无需额外标注,输出具临床重拍指导价值。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Retinal image quality assessment (RIQA) supports computer-aided diagnosis of eye diseases. However, most tools classify only overall image quality, without indicating acquisition defects to guide recapture. This gap is mainly due to the high cost of detailed annotations. In this paper, we aim to mitigate this limitation by introducing a hybrid semi-supervised learning approach that combines manual labels for overall quality with pseudo-labels of quality details within a multi-task framework. Our objective is to obtain more interpretable RIQA models without requiring extensive manual labeling. Pseudo-labels are generated by a Teacher model trained on a small dataset and then used to fine-tune a pre-trained model in a multi-task setting. Using a ResNet-18 backbone, we show that these weak annotations improve quality assessment over single-task baselines (F1: 0.875 vs. 0.863 on EyeQ, and 0.778 vs. 0.763 on DeepDRiD), matching or surpassing existing methods. The multi-task model achieved performance statistically comparable to the Teacher for most detail prediction tasks (p > 0.05). In a newly annotated EyeQ subset released with this paper, our model performed similarly to experts, suggesting that pseudo-label noise aligns with expert variability. Our main finding is that the proposed semi-supervised approach not only improves overall quality assessment but also provides interpretable feedback on capture conditions (illumination, clarity, contrast). This enhances interpretability at no extra manual labeling cost and offers clinically actionable outputs to guide image recapture.
