摘要
En 中文
The success of deep networks for the semantic segmentation of images is limited by the availability of annotated training data. The manual annotation of images for segmentation is a tedious and time-consuming task that often requires sophisticated users with significant domain expertise to create high-quality annotations over hundreds of images. In this paper, we propose the segmentation with scant pixel annotations (SSPA) approach to generate high-performing segmentation models using a scant set of expert annotated images. The models are generated by training them on images with automatically generated pseudo-labels along with a scant set of expert annotated images selected using an entropy-based algorithm. For each chosen image, experts are directed to assign labels to a particular group of pixels, while a set of replacement rules that leverage the patterns learned by the model is used to automatically assign labels to the remaining pixels. The SSPA approach integrates active learning and semi-supervised learning with pseudo-labels, where expert annotations are not essential but generated on demand. Extensive experiments on bio-medical and biofilm datasets show that the SSPA approach achieves state-of-the-art performance with less than 5% cumulative annotation of the pixels of the training data by the experts.
