Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) aims to adapt existing models of the source domain to a new target domain with only unlabeled data. Most existing methods suffer from noticeable negative transfer resulting from either the error-prone discriminator network or the unreasonable teacher model. Besides, the local regional consistency in UDA has been largely neglected, and only extracting the global-level pattern information is not powerful enough for feature alignment due to the abuse use of contexts. To this end, we propose an uncertainty-aware consistency regularization method for cross-domain semantic segmentation. Firstly, we introduce an uncertainty-guided consistency loss with a dynamic weighting scheme by exploiting the latent uncertainty information of the target samples. As such, more meaningful and reliable knowledge from the teacher model can be transferred to the student model. We further reveal the reason why the current consistency regularization is often unstable in minimizing the domain discrepancy. Besides, we design a ClassDrop mask generation algorithm to produce strong class-wise perturbations. Guided by this mask, we propose a ClassOut strategy to realize effective regional consistency in a fine-grained manner. Experiments demonstrate that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on four domain adaptation benchmarks, i.e., GTAV $rightarrow $ Cityscapes and SYNTHIA $rightarrow $ Cityscapes, Virtual KITTI $rightarrow$ KITTI and Cityscapes $rightarrow$ KITTI.

Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) aims to adapt a model of the labeled source domain to an unlabeled target domain. Although the domain shifts may exist in various dimensions such as appearance, textures, etc, the contextual dependency, which is g
enerally shared across different domains, is neglected by recent methods. In this paper, we utilize this important clue as explicit prior knowledge and propose end-to-end Context-Aware Mixup (CAMix) for domain adaptive semantic segmentation. Firstly, we design a contextual mask generation strategy by leveraging accumulated spatial distributions and contextual relationships. The generated contextual mask is critical in this work and will guide the domain mixup. In addition, we define the significance mask to indicate where the pixels are credible. To alleviate the over-alignment (e.g., early performance degradation), the source and target significance masks are mixed based on the contextual mask into the mixed significance mask, and we introduce a significance-reweighted consistency loss on it. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods by a large margin on two widely-used domain adaptation benchmarks, i.e., GTAV $rightarrow $ Cityscapes and SYNTHIA $rightarrow $ Cityscapes.
In this paper, we consider the problem of unsupervised domain adaptation in the semantic segmentation. There are two primary issues in this field, i.e., what and how to transfer domain knowledge across two domains. Existing methods mainly focus on ad
apting domain-invariant features (what to transfer) through adversarial learning (how to transfer). Context dependency is essential for semantic segmentation, however, its transferability is still not well understood. Furthermore, how to transfer contextual information across two domains remains unexplored. Motivated by this, we propose a cross-attention mechanism based on self-attention to capture context dependencies between two domains and adapt transferable context. To achieve this goal, we design two cross-domain attention modules to adapt context dependencies from both spatial and channel views. Specifically, the spatial attention module captures local feature dependencies between each position in the source and target image. The channel attention module models semantic dependencies between each pair of cross-domain channel maps. To adapt context dependencies, we further selectively aggregate the context information from two domains. The superiority of our method over existing state-of-the-art methods is empirically proved on GTA5 to Cityscapes and SYNTHIA to Cityscapes.
Semantic segmentation has made tremendous progress in recent years. However, satisfying performance highly depends on a large number of pixel-level annotations. Therefore, in this paper, we focus on the semi-supervised segmentation problem where only
a small set of labeled data is provided with a much larger collection of totally unlabeled images. Nevertheless, due to the limited annotations, models may overly rely on the contexts available in the training data, which causes poor generalization to the scenes unseen before. A preferred high-level representation should capture the contextual information while not losing self-awareness. Therefore, we propose to maintain the context-aware consistency between features of the same identity but with different contexts, making the representations robust to the varying environments. Moreover, we present the Directional Contrastive Loss (DC Loss) to accomplish the consistency in a pixel-to-pixel manner, only requiring the feature with lower quality to be aligned towards its counterpart. In addition, to avoid the false-negative samples and filter the uncertain positive samples, we put forward two sampling strategies. Extensive experiments show that our simple yet effective method surpasses current state-of-the-art methods by a large margin and also generalizes well with extra image-level annotations.
For unsupervised domain adaptation problems, the strategy of aligning the two domains in latent feature space through adversarial learning has achieved much progress in image classification, but usually fails in semantic segmentation tasks in which t
he latent representations are overcomplex. In this work, we equip the adversarial network with a significance-aware information bottleneck (SIB), to address the above problem. The new network structure, called SIBAN, enables a significance-aware feature purification before the adversarial adaptation, which eases the feature alignment and stabilizes the adversarial training course. In two domain adaptation tasks, i.e., GTA5 -> Cityscapes and SYNTHIA -> Cityscapes, we validate that the proposed method can yield leading results compared with other feature-space alternatives. Moreover, SIBAN can even match the state-of-the-art output-space methods in segmentation accuracy, while the latter are often considered to be better choices for domain adaptive segmentation task.
Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) for cross-modality medical image segmentation has shown great progress by domain-invariant feature learning or image appearance translation. Adapted feature learning usually cannot detect domain shifts at the pixe
l level and is not able to achieve good results in dense semantic segmentation tasks. Image appearance translation, e.g. CycleGAN, translates images into different styles with good appearance, despite its population, its semantic consistency is hardly to maintain and results in poor cross-modality segmentation. In this paper, we propose intra- and cross-modality semantic consistency (ICMSC) for UDA and our key insight is that the segmentation of synthesised images in different styles should be consistent. Specifically, our model consists of an image translation module and a domain-specific segmentation module. The image translation module is a standard CycleGAN, while the segmentation module contains two domain-specific segmentation networks. The intra-modality semantic consistency (IMSC) forces the reconstructed image after a cycle to be segmented in the same way as the original input image, while the cross-modality semantic consistency (CMSC) encourages the synthesized images after translation to be segmented exactly the same as before translation. Comprehensive experimental results on cross-modality hip joint bone segmentation show the effectiveness of our proposed method, which achieves an average DICE of 81.61% on the acetabulum and 88.16% on the proximal femur, outperforming other state-of-the-art methods. It is worth to note that without UDA, a model trained on CT for hip joint bone segmentation is non-transferable to MRI and has almost zero-DICE segmentation.
