Ultra: Unsupervised Cross-Task Optimization for Reliable Restoration Segmentation Collaboration under Adverse Weather

- 通过候选方向生成与干预筛选,解决任务间优化方向不可靠问题。
- 在三个基准上实现领先分割性能,修复效果也优于现有方法。
- 适合做恶劣天气下无监督图像理解的科研与工程人员。
无监督域适应用于恶劣天气语义分割(UDA-ASS)旨在将标注正常天气图像的语义知识迁移到未标注的恶劣环境。现有方法隐含假设修复与分割能相互促进,但在严重退化且缺乏目标域监督时,跨任务优化方向的根本有效性无法识别,导致幻觉驱动的错误传播。本文提出新型无监督修复-分割协同学习框架Ultra,将跨任务交互重构为不确定性下的方向选择与因果效应评估,通过候选方向生成与基于干预的过滤实现可靠协作。具体提出CTDN和CMIL:前者利用互补视觉结构与语义信息生成候选优化方向,并在修复与分割间进行协同选择;后者将跨任务信息传递从相关性传播重构为因果效应评估,抑制幻觉传播。在三个广泛使用的UDA-ASS基准上实验表明,该框架达到最先进分割性能。除分割外,其修复结果优于现有UDA-ASS方法,并可推广至无监督修复与目标检测的协同任务。代码与模型将公开于https://github.com/Wang-Shiqin/Ultra。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Unsupervised Domain Adaptation for Adverse Weather Semantic Segmentation (UDA-ASS) aims to transfer semantic knowledge from labeled normal-weather images to unlabeled adverse environments. Existing approaches implicitly assume that restoration and segmentation provide mutually beneficial guidance. However, under severe degradation and without target-domain supervision, the validity of cross-task optimization directions becomes fundamentally unidentifiable, leading to hallucination-driven error propagation. In this work, we propose a novel Unsupervised Restoration-Segmentation Collaborative Learning Framework (Ultra), which reframes cross-task interaction as direction selection under uncertainty and causal effect estimation, enabling reliable collaboration through candidate direction generation and intervention-based filtering. In detail, we propose CTDN and CMIL. The former exploits complementary visual structures and semantic information to generate candidate optimization directions and performs cooperative direction selection between restoration and segmentation. The latter reformulates cross-task information transfer from correlation-based propagation into causal effect assessment, suppressing hallucination propagation. Extensive experiments on three widely used UDA-ASS benchmarks demonstrate state-of-the-art segmentation performance. Beyond segmentation, our framework achieves better unsupervised restoration results than existing UDA-ASS restoration methods and generalizes to unsupervised restoration and object detection collaboration tasks.
