GazeRefine uses expert gaze for training-free medical image segmentation

Researchers have developed GazeRefine, a novel framework that utilizes expert gaze as a prompt for training-free medical image segmentation. This method converts sparse gaze fixations into foreground and background priors, which are then refined in a frozen DINOv3 feature space. GazeRefine eliminates the need for segmentation masks, fine-tuning, or gradient updates, demonstrating strong performance on polyp segmentation and competitive results on prostate MRI segmentation. AI

IMPACT This training-free approach could significantly reduce the need for extensive expert annotations in medical imaging tasks.

    GazeRefine: Expert Gaze as a Test-Time Prompt for Training-Free Medical Image Segmentation

    arXiv:2609.01310v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical image segmentation remains difficult to scale because high-performing methods typically rely on dense expert annotations and task-specific training. We introduce GazeRefine, a training-free framework that uses gaze as an i…
