Uncertainty-Aware Domain Adaptation for Vitiligo Segmentation in Clinical Photographs
- 结合域适应预训练与区域约束损失,有效抑制背景干扰。
- 引入高频谱门控模块,显著提升对细微纹理的捕捉能力。
- 通过集成学习与测试时增强生成不确定性图,助力医生判读。
在常规临床照片中准确量化白癜风病灶范围,对治疗效果的长期监测至关重要。本文提出一种可信且频率感知的分割框架,包含三个协同机制:(1) 基于ISIC 2019数据集的域适应预训练,结合感兴趣区域约束的双任务损失,有效抑制背景噪声;(2) 采用基于ConvNeXt V2的编码器,融入新型高频谱门控(HFSG)模块和茎部跳接结构,强化对微小纹理的建模能力;(3) 构建临床可信机制,利用K折集成与测试时增强(TTA)生成像素级不确定性图。在专家标注的临床队列上验证,取得85.05%的Dice分数,边界误差显著降低(95%豪斯多夫距离从44.79像素降至29.95像素),持续优于强基线模型(如ResNet-50、UNet++、MiT-B5)。框架无灾难性失败,提供可解释的熵图以识别模糊区域供医生复核,为自动化白癜风评估建立可靠标准。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurately quantifying vitiligo extent in routine clinical photographs is crucial for longitudinal monitoring of treatment response. We propose a trustworthy, frequency-aware segmentation framework built on three synergistic pillars: (1) a data-efficient training strategy combining domain-adaptive pre-training on the ISIC 2019 dataset with an ROI-constrained dual-task loss to suppress background noise; (2) an architectural refinement via a ConvNeXt V2-based encoder enhanced with a novel High-Frequency Spectral Gating (HFSG) module and stem-skip connections to capture subtle textures; and (3) a clinical trust mechanism employing K-fold ensemble and Test-Time Augmentation (TTA) to generate pixel-wise uncertainty maps. Extensive validation on an expert-annotated clinical cohort demonstrates superior performance, achieving a Dice score of 85.05% and significantly reducing boundary error (95% Hausdorff Distance improved from 44.79 px to 29.95 px), consistently outperforming strong CNN (ResNet-50 and UNet++) and Transformer (MiT-B5) baselines. Notably, our framework demonstrates high reliability with zero catastrophic failures and provides interpretable entropy maps to identify ambiguous regions for clinician review. Our approach suggests that the proposed framework establishes a robust and reliable standard for automated vitiligo assessment.
