Semi-supervised medical image segmentation via dynamic pseudo-label refinement

Abstract

Semi-supervised learning offers a beneficial approach for segmenting medical images when limited annotations are available. Recent prominent techniques focus on using essential elements from a dual-view perspective to create pseudo-labels for unlabeled data. However, they still suffer from the potential loss of important data and the risk of creating inaccurate labels. To overcome these issues, we present an innovative training framework with dynamic pseudo-label refinement that thoroughly explores the potential of the dual-view method. Our proposed training framework includes two complementary modules: Hierarchical Pseudo Label Generation (HPLG) and Dynamic Pseudo Label Correction (DPLC). The HPLG module employs a dynamic approach to generate hierarchical pixel-level pseudo-labels, which are stratified based on their reliability, leveraging both the agreement and discrepancies within the …
