• Abstract: Deep neural networks for aerial image segmentation require large amounts of labeled data, but high-quality aerial datasets with precise annotations are scarce and costly to produce. To address this limitation, we propose a self-supervised pretraining method that improves segmentation performance while reducing reliance on labeled data. Our approach uses inpainting-based pretraining, where the model learns to reconstruct missing regions in aerial images, capturing their inherent structure before being fine-tuned for road extraction. This method improves generalization, enhances robustness to domain shifts, and is invariant to model architecture and dataset choice. Experiments show that our pretraining significantly boosts segmentation accuracy, especially in low-data regimes, making it a scalable solution for aerial image analysis.

  Few-shot learning approaches are cost-effective to transfer pre-trained models using only limited annotated data. We train a data-driven sparsification module to enhance airways efficiently in lung CT scans. We then incorporate these sparse representations in a standard supervised segmentation pipeline as a pretraining step to enhance the performance of the DL models.

• Self-Supervised Pretraining for 2D Medical Image Segmentation [0.0]
  Self-supervised learning offers a way to lower the need for manually annotated data by pretraining models for a specific domain on unlabelled data. We find that self-supervised pretraining on natural images and target-domain-specific images leads to the fastest and most stable downstream convergence. In low-data scenarios, supervised ImageNet pretraining achieves the best accuracy, requiring less than 100 annotated samples to realise close to minimal error.

  Transformer-based supervised pre-training achieves great performance in person re-identification (ReID) Due to the domain gap between ImageNet and ReID datasets, it usually needs a larger pre-training dataset to boost the performance. This work aims to mitigate the gap between the pre-training and ReID datasets from the perspective of data and model structure.
