• Abstract summary: Unsupervised domain adaptive semantic segmentation (UDA-SS) aims to train a model on the source domain data and adapt the model to predict target domain data. Most existing UDA-SS methods only focus on inter-domain knowledge to mitigate the data-shift problem. We propose a UDA-SS framework that learns both intra-domain and context-aware knowledge.

• Abstract: Unsupervised domain adaptive semantic segmentation (UDA-SS) aims to train a model on the source domain data (e.g., synthetic) and adapt the model to predict target domain data (e.g., real-world) without accessing target annotation data. Most existing UDA-SS methods only focus on inter-domain knowledge to mitigate the data-shift problem. However, learning the inherent structure of the images and exploring the intrinsic pixel distribution of both domains are ignored, which prevents the UDA-SS methods from producing satisfactory performance like supervised learning. Moreover, incorporating contextual knowledge is also often overlooked. Considering these issues, in this work, we propose a UDA-SS framework that learns both intra-domain and context-aware knowledge. To learn the intra-domain knowledge, we incorporate contrastive loss in both domains, which pulls pixels of similar classes together and pushes the rest away, facilitating intra-image-pixel-wise correlations. To learn context-aware knowledge, we modify the mixing technique by leveraging contextual dependency among the classes. Moreover, we adapt the Mask Image Modeling (MIM) technique to properly use context clues for robust visual recognition, using limited information about the masked images. Comprehensive experiments validate that our proposed method improves the state-of-the-art UDA-SS methods by a margin of 0.51% mIoU and 0.54% mIoU in the adaptation of GTA-V->Cityscapes and Synthia->Cityscapes, respectively. We open-source our C2DA code. Code link: github.com/Masrur02/C-Squared-DA

  UDA enables models to learn from unlabeled target domain data while training on labeled source domain data.

  Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) is the task of bridging the domain gap between a labeled source domain and an unlabeled target domain. We propose to leverage geometric information, i.e., depth predictions, as depth discontinuities often coincide with segmentation boundaries. We show that our method can be plugged into various recent UDA methods and consistently improve results across standard UDA benchmarks.

  We present a two-stage source-free domain adaptation (SFDA) framework for medical image segmentation. In the prototype-anchored feature alignment stage, we first utilize the weights of the pre-trained pixel-wise classifier as source prototypes. Then, we introduce the bi-directional transport to align the target features with class prototypes by minimizing its expected cost.

  In unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA), a model trained on source data (e.g. synthetic) is adapted to target data (e.g. real-world) without access to target annotation. We propose a Masked Image Consistency (MIC) module to enhance UDA by learning spatial context relations of the target domain. MIC significantly improves the state-of-the-art performance across the different recognition tasks for synthetic-to-real, day-to-nighttime, and clear-to-adverse-weather UDA.
