医学图像的泛化分割需应对不同成像设备和临床协议带来的性能下降问题。基于白化变换的概率形状正则化提取器(WT-PSE)通过特征去相关与基于Wasserstein距离的知识蒸馏实现跨域鲁棒分割。本研究系统分析了原框架的四方面局限:训练增强不足、依赖对边缘噪声敏感的像素级二值交叉熵损失、缺乏课程式损失权重调度导致早期训练不稳定、缺少可控制的消融开关。为此提出四项改进:(1) 包含随机擦除、伽马校正和盐椒噪声的领域自适应增强;(2) 混合BCE与Dice损失以提升噪声条件下的边缘分割能力;(3) 基于课程学习的Dice权重调度策略;(4) 命令行控制标志支持系统性消融实验。在视网膜视盘分割基准测试中,改进后流程在最终轮次取得0.956的视盘Dice分数和13.31的ASD值,优于基线第5轮的0.939。结果表明,仅通过训练层面优化即可获得稳定性能提升,无需修改底层WT-PSE架构。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Generalized segmentation of medical images prevents performance degradation when different imaging devices and clinical protocols are used across multiple domains. The Whitening Transform-based Probabilistic Shape Regularization Extractor (WT-PSE), published in IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging in 2024, addresses this challenge by employing feature decorrelation and Wasserstein distance-based knowledge distillation to achieve robust cross-domain segmentation. This study systematically examines improvements to the WT-PSE learning framework. Four limitations in the original implementation are identified: limited training augmentations that fail to simulate real scanner variations, reliance on per-pixel binary cross-entropy loss that is sensitive to edge noise, the absence of a scheduled loss weighting strategy that may destabilize early training, and the lack of ablation switches for controlled scientific comparison. To address these issues, we propose four enhancements: (1) domain-adaptive augmentation including random erasing, gamma correction, and salt-and-pepper noise; (2) a hybrid BCE and Dice loss function for improved edge-aware segmentation under noisy conditions; (3) a curriculum-based Dice weight scheduling strategy; and (4) command-line control flags for systematic ablation studies. Experiments on the fundus optic disc segmentation benchmark demonstrate that the improved pipeline achieves a final epoch optic-disc Dice score of 0.956 and an ASD score of 13.31, outperforming the baseline epoch-5 Dice score of 0.939. These results indicate that training-level improvements can provide consistent performance gains without modifying the underlying WT-PSE architecture.
