3D无监督域适应(UDA)分割可降低新域数据标注成本。自训练是主流方法,其成功高度依赖于能生成可靠伪标签的初始化模型。现有方法多依赖源域监督或输出级对抗对齐获取初始模型,但因域间差异大,易导致泛化性差和训练不稳。本文提出CVKD-UDA,重新审视体素大小作为核心设计因素,构建域相似表示,并利用跨视图互补信息平衡模型的迁移性与判别性。首先,通过改变体素大小生成两个互补视图,引入跨视图知识蒸馏(CVKD)以增强模型泛化与目标感知能力。其次,为平衡迁移性与判别性,设计轻量级解耦适配器(Decouple-Adapter)和辅助模仿分类器,实现跨视图知识的解耦传递。在两个基准数据集上的大量实验表明,CVKD-UDA显著提升了自训练方法性能,为3D UDA分割提供了新视角。代码将开源于GitHub。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
3D unsupervised domain adaptive (UDA) segmentation mitigates the high cost of manual annotations of the new domain data. Self-training has emerged as the dominant approach in this area, where its success heavily depends on a well-initialized warm-up model to generate reliable pseudo labels. However, existing methods often depend on source supervision or output-level adversarial alignment to obtain the warm-up model, which suffer from limited generalization and training instability due to the large domain gap between domains. Constructing domain-similar representations is an effective way to bridge this gap. In this work, we propose CVKD-UDA, which revisits voxel size as a core design factor to construct domain-similar representations and leverages cross-view complementary cues to balance transferability and discriminability of the warm-up model. First, we generate two complementary views by varying voxel sizes and introduce a cross-view knowledge distillation (CVKD) to enhance generalization and target perception of the model. Second, to balance transferability and discriminability, we design a lightweight Decouple-Adapter and an auxiliary imitation classifier to decouple cross-view knowledge transfer. Extensive experiments on two benchmarks demonstrate that CVKD-UDA effectively improves the performance of self-training methods and provides a new perspective for 3D UDA segmentation. Our code will be available at GitHub.
