• Abstract: Many interactive image segmentation techniques are based on semi-supervised learning. The user may label some pixels from each object and the SSL algorithm will propagate the labels from the labeled to the unlabeled pixels, finding object boundaries. This paper proposes a new SSL graph-based interactive image segmentation approach, using undirected and unweighted kNN graphs, from which the unlabeled nodes receive contributions from other nodes (either labeled or unlabeled). It is simpler than many other techniques, but it still achieves significant classification accuracy in the image segmentation task. Computer simulations are performed using some real-world images, extracted from the Microsoft GrabCut dataset. The segmentation results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

  Image segmentation is a clustering task whereby each pixel is assigned a cluster label. In this work, by resorting to label only a small quantity of pixels, a new semi-supervised segmentation approach is proposed. The proposed semi-supervised RBF-CCA algorithm has been implemented on several remotely sensed multispectral images.

  This paper presents a simple but performant semi-supervised semantic segmentation approach, called CorrMatch. We observe that the correlation maps not only enable clustering pixels of the same category easily but also contain good shape information. We propose to conduct pixel propagation by modeling the pairwise similarities of pixels to spread the high-confidence pixels and dig out more. Then, we perform region propagation to enhance the pseudo labels with accurate class-agnostic masks extracted from the correlation maps.

  This paper focuses on tackling semi-supervised part segmentation tasks by generating high-quality images with a pre-trained GAN. In particular, we formulate the annotator learning as a learning-to-learn problem. We show that our method can learn annotators from a broad range of labelled images including real images, generated images, and even analytically rendered images.

• One Weird Trick to Improve Your Semi-Weakly Supervised Semantic Segmentation Model [8.388356030608886]
  Semi-weakly supervised semantic segmentation (SWSSS) aims to train a model to identify objects in images based on a small number of images with pixel-level labels, and many more images with only image-level labels. Most existing SWSSS algorithms extract pixel-level pseudo-labels from an image classifier - a very difficult task to do well. We propose a method called prediction filtering, which instead of extracting pseudo-labels, just uses the classifier as a classifier. Adding this simple post-processing method to baselines gives results competitive with or better than prior SWSSS algorithms.

The proposed method can be trained in a weakly supervised fashion, as the training samples must be only labeled on image-level.
