  • 用边界感知不确定性分数生成内部伪点击点,定位模糊区域。
  • 在Berkeley数据集上减少超10%的点击次数,提升初始掩码质量。
  • 适合需要高效交互式标注的视觉任务,如医学图像分割。

交互式图像分割对高效图像标注至关重要;然而,现有方法通常需要大量修正点击或依赖收敛缓慢的被动优化方案。我们提出不确定性引导的级联前向精修框架(U-CFR),一种新型推理时机制,使模型在每次用户交互后能自主进行自我修正。U-CFR引入一种边界感知的不确定性得分,融合分割不确定性、轮廓梯度与显式边缘预测,指导内部伪点击的位置选择。这些自动生成的点击聚焦于最模糊的边界区域,提供强矫正信号而无需额外手动输入。为支持该过程,我们设计了一个双头网络,共享编码器-解码器主干:分割头确保区域一致性,边缘头强化边界对齐。在推理阶段,U-CFR启动一系列级联精修步骤,每阶段利用不确定性驱动的伪点击逐步优化掩码。在标准基准数据集上的实验表明,所提U-CFR提升了点击效率、初始掩码质量与边界精度,在如Berkeley等挑战性数据集上点击次数减少超过10%,实现更智能高效的交互式标注。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Interactive image segmentation is critical for efficient image annotation; however, existing methods often require many corrective clicks or rely on passive refinement schemes that converge slowly. We propose Uncertainty-Guided Cascade Forward Refinement (U-CFR), a novel inference-time framework that enables models to autonomously self-correct after each user interaction. U-CFR introduces a boundary-aware uncertainty score that fuses segmentation uncertainty, contour gradients, and explicit edge predictions to guide the placement of internal pseudo-clicks. These self-generated clicks target the most ambiguous boundary regions, providing strong corrective signals without additional manual input. To support this process, we design a dual-head network with a shared encoder-decoder backbone: a segmentation head ensures region consistency, while an edge head sharpens boundary alignment. In inference, U-CFR launches a cascade of refinement steps, where each stage leverages the uncertainty-driven pseudo-clicks to refine the mask progressively. Experiments on standard benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed U-CFR improves click efficiency, initial mask quality, and boundary accuracy. It reduces the required clicks by over 10% on challenging datasets like Berkeley and offers a more intelligent and efficient interactive annotation.
