ESRVS method achieves high accuracy in retinal vessel segmentation with minimal supervision

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed ESRVS, a novel method for retinal vessel segmentation that requires only a single annotated image and a collection of unlabeled images. This approach leverages foundation model label propagation, using DINOv3 features and a physics-inspired prior to generate initial pseudo-labels. ESRVS then refines this supervision through weighted pseudo-label training and adversarial refinement, achieving state-of-the-art results on multiple public datasets and retaining a high percentage of performance compared to fully supervised methods.

IMPACT Demonstrates significant potential for label-efficient medical image segmentation, reducing reliance on costly expert annotations.

    ESRVS: Extreme Semi-Supervised Retinal Vessel Segmentation with a Single Annotated Image

    arXiv:2607.24453v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Learning from minimal human supervision is a long-standing goal in medical image analysis, where dense expert annotations are costly. We study retinal vessel segmentation in an extreme semi-supervised setting with one annotated im…
