医学影像分割模型在测试时自适应中,用少量标注提升可靠性。

EviATTA: Evidential Active Test-Time Adaptation for Medical Segment Anything Models

  • 用证据理论分解不确定性,区分分布与数据不确定性。
  • 仅需少量标注,就能在6个数据集上稳定提升分割精度。
  • 适合医疗图像领域需要专家标注但成本高的场景。

在大分布偏移下部署基础医学分割任意模型(SAM)进行测试时自适应(TTA)极具挑战,因测试时监督信号常不可靠。尽管主动测试时自适应(ATTA)引入有限专家反馈以提高可靠性,现有方法仍存在不确定性估计不可靠、稀疏标注利用效率低的问题。为此,我们提出面向医学SAM的证据主动测试时自适应(EviATTA),据我们所知是首个专为医学SAM设计的ATTA框架。具体地,采用基于狄利克雷分布的证据建模,将预测不确定性分解为分布不确定性和数据不确定性。基于此,设计分层证据采样策略:以图像级分布不确定性选择信息量大的偏移样本,以距离感知的数据不确定性指导稀疏像素标注以消除数据歧义。进一步引入双一致性正则化:对稀疏标注样本施加渐进式提示一致性,更好利用稀疏监督;对未标注样本施加变分特征一致性,稳定适应过程。在六个医学图像分割数据集上的大量实验表明,EviATTA在批处理和实例级测试时自适应设置下,均以最少专家反馈显著提升适应可靠性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Deploying foundational medical Segment Anything Models (SAMs) via test-time adaptation (TTA) is challenging under large distribution shifts, where test-time supervision is often unreliable. While active test-time adaptation (ATTA) introduces limited expert feedback to improve reliability, existing ATTA methods still suffer from unreliable uncertainty estimation and inefficient utilization of sparse annotations. To address these issues, we propose Evidential Active Test-Time Adaptation (EviATTA), which is, to our knowledge, the first ATTA framework tailored for medical SAMs. Specifically, we adopt the Dirichlet-based Evidential Modeling to decompose overall predictive uncertainty into distribution uncertainty and data uncertainty. Building on this decomposition, we design a Hierarchical Evidential Sampling strategy, where image-wise distribution uncertainty is used to select informative shifted samples, while distance-aware data uncertainty guides sparse pixel annotations to resolve data ambiguities. We further introduce Dual Consistency Regularization, which enforces progressive prompt consistency on sparsely labeled samples to better exploit sparse supervision and applies variational feature consistency on unlabeled samples to stabilize adaptation. Extensive experiments on six medical image segmentation datasets demonstrate that EviATTA consistently improves adaptation reliability with minimal expert feedback under both batch-wise and instance-wise test-time adaptation settings.
