We present a novel approach for unsupervised road segmentation in adverse weather conditions such as rain or fog. This includes a new algorithm for source-free domain adaptation (SFDA) using self-supervised learning. Moreover, our approach uses several techniques to address various challenges in SFDA and improve performance, including online generation of pseudo-labels and self-attention as well as use of curriculum learning, entropy minimization and model distillation. We have evaluated the performance on $6$ datasets corresponding to real and synthetic adverse weather conditions. Our method outperforms all prior works on unsupervised road segmentation and SFDA by at least 10.26%, and improves the training time by 18-180x. Moreover, our self-supervised algorithm exhibits similar accuracy performance in terms of mIOU score as compared to prior supervised methods.

Most modern approaches for domain adaptive semantic segmentation rely on continued access to source data during adaptation, which may be infeasible due to computational or privacy constraints. We focus on source-free domain adaptation for semantic se gmentation, wherein a source model must adapt itself to a new target domain given only unlabeled target data. We propose Self-Supervised Selective Self-Training (S4T), a source-free adaptation algorithm that first uses the models pixel-level predictive consistency across diverse views of each target image along with model confidence to classify pixel predictions as either reliable or unreliable. Next, the model is self-trained, using predicted pseudolabels for reliable predictions and pseudolabels inferred via a selective interpolation strategy for unreliable ones. S4T matches or improves upon the state-of-the-art in source-free adaptation on 3 standard benchmarks for semantic segmentation within a single epoch of adaptation.
Domain adaptation (DA) has drawn high interest for its capacity to adapt a model trained on labeled source data to perform well on unlabeled or weakly labeled target data from a different domain. Most common DA techniques require concurrent access to the input images of both the source and target domains. However, in practice, privacy concerns often impede the availability of source images in the adaptation phase. This is a very frequent DA scenario in medical imaging, where, for instance, the source and target images could come from different clinical sites. We introduce a source-free domain adaptation for image segmentation. Our formulation is based on minimizing a label-free entropy loss defined over target-domain data, which we further guide with a domain-invariant prior on the segmentation regions. Many priors can be derived from anatomical information. Here, a class ratio prior is estimated from anatomical knowledge and integrated in the form of a Kullback Leibler (KL) divergence in our overall loss function. Furthermore, we motivate our overall loss with an interesting link to maximizing the mutual information between the target images and their label predictions. We show the effectiveness of our prior aware entropy minimization in a variety of domain-adaptation scenarios, with different modalities and applications, including spine, prostate, and cardiac segmentation. Our method yields comparable results to several state of the art adaptation techniques, despite having access to much less information, as the source images are entirely absent in our adaptation phase. Our straightforward adaptation strategy uses only one network, contrary to popular adversarial techniques, which are not applicable to a source-free DA setting. Our framework can be readily used in a breadth of segmentation problems, and our code is publicly available: https://github.com/mathilde-b/SFDA

Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) can tackle the challenge that convolutional neural network(CNN)-based approaches for semantic segmentation heavily rely on the pixel-level annotated data, which is labor-intensive. However, existing UDA approaches in this regard inevitably require the full access to source datasets to reduce the gap between the source and target domains during model adaptation, which are impractical in the real scenarios where the source datasets are private, and thus cannot be released along with the well-trained source models. To cope with this issue, we propose a source-free domain adaptation framework for semantic segmentation, namely SFDA, in which only a well-trained source model and an unlabeled target domain dataset are available for adaptation. SFDA not only enables to recover and preserve the source domain knowledge from the source model via knowledge transfer during model adaptation, but also distills valuable information from the target domain for self-supervised learning. The pixel- and patch-level optimization objectives tailored for semantic segmentation are seamlessly integrated in the framework. The extensive experimental results on numerous benchmark datasets highlight the effectiveness of our framework against the existing UDA approaches relying on source data.
It is a strong prerequisite to access source data freely in many existing unsupervised domain adaptation approaches. However, source data is agnostic in many practical scenarios due to the constraints of expensive data transmission and data privacy p rotection. Usually, the given source domain pre-trained model is expected to optimize with only unlabeled target data, which is termed as source-free unsupervised domain adaptation. In this paper, we solve this problem from the perspective of noisy label learning, since the given pre-trained model can pre-generate noisy label for unlabeled target data via directly network inference. Under this problem modeling, incorporating self-supervised learning, we propose a novel Self-Supervised Noisy Label Learning method, which can effectively fine-tune the pre-trained model with pre-generated label as well as selfgenerated label on the fly. Extensive experiments had been conducted to validate its effectiveness. Our method can easily achieve state-of-the-art results and surpass other methods by a very large margin. Code will be released.

Domain Adaptation has been widely used to deal with the distribution shift in vision, language, multimedia etc. Most domain adaptation methods learn domain-invariant features with data from both domains available. However, such a strategy might be in feasible in practice when source data are unavailable due to data-privacy concerns. To address this issue, we propose a novel adaptation method via hypothesis transfer without accessing source data at adaptation stage. In order to fully use the limited target data, a semi-supervised mutual enhancement method is proposed, in which entropy minimization and augmented label propagation are used iteratively to perform inter-domain and intra-domain alignments. Compared with state-of-the-art methods, the experimental results on three public datasets demonstrate that our method gets up to 19.9% improvements on semi-supervised adaptation tasks.
