通过解耦特征频段与地缘匹配,提升少样本医学图像分割精度
Beyond Euclidean Prototypes: Spectral Disentanglement and Geodesic Matching for Few-Shot Medical Image Segmentation

- 将特征分解为低、中、高频分量,分离形状、纹理和边界信息
- 用热扩散近似地缘距离,避免低对比度器官的分割断裂
- 适合需要高精度分割的医疗影像场景,尤其标注数据稀缺时
少样本医学图像分割(FSMIS)旨在仅凭一两个标注支持图像分割新解剖结构,应对医学影像标注稀缺问题。现有基于原型的方法受限于两大耦合缺陷:1)线索纠缠,单一空间原型需同时编码器官轮廓、实质纹理和边界外观,导致任一支持-查询不匹配会无差别传播至其他线索;2)拓扑盲匹配,余弦相似度在欧氏空间度量距离,忽略特征流形的连通性,造成低对比度器官内激活碎片化及向邻近组织泄漏。为此,我们提出谱-地缘原型网络(SGP-Net),核心为谱-地缘原型模块,包含两部分:谱原型库(SPB)通过可学习径向傅里叶滤波器将支持与查询特征分解为低、中、高频带,生成每类三个解耦原型,分别编码形状、纹理与边界线索;地缘匹配器(GM)以可微热扩散近似地缘距离,沿特征亲和图传播匹配信号,使流形上像素获得一致响应,而流形外伪像被抑制。在三个公开的FSMIS基准测试中,SGP-Net表现优于近期先进方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Few-Shot Medical Image Segmentation (FSMIS) aims to delineate novel anatomical targets from one or a few annotated support images, addressing the annotation scarcity in medical imaging. Notwithstanding recent advancements, current prototype-based methods are bottlenecked by two coupled limitations: 1) cue entanglement, where a single spatial-domain prototype is forced to summarise organ silhouette, parenchymal texture and boundary appearance simultaneously, so any support-query mismatch on one cue propagates indiscriminately to the others; and 2) topology-blind matching, where cosine similarity measures distance in the ambient Euclidean space and ignores the connectivity of the underlying feature manifold, causing fragmented activations inside low-contrast organs and leakage into neighbouring tissues. To this end, we propose Spectral-Geodesic Prototype Network (SGP-Net), built around a Spectral-Geodesic Prototype Module with two coupled components. A Spectral Prototype Bank (SPB) decomposes support and query features into low-, mid- and high-frequency bands via learnable radial Fourier filters, yielding three disentangled prototypes per class that separately encode shape, texture and boundary cues. A Geodesic Matcher (GM) then replaces cosine similarity with a differentiable heat-diffusion approximation of geodesic distance, propagating matching signals along a feature affinity graph so that on-manifold pixels accumulate consistent responses while off-manifold look-alikes are suppressed. Experiments on three public FSMIS benchmarks demonstrate that SGP-Net achieves competitive performance against recent state-of-the-art methods.
