• Abstract: High-quality pixel-level annotations are essential for the semantic segmentation of remote sensing imagery. However, such labels are expensive to obtain and often affected by noise due to the labor-intensive and time-consuming nature of pixel-wise annotation, which makes it challenging for human annotators to label every pixel accurately. Annotation errors can significantly degrade the performance and robustness of modern segmentation models, motivating the need for reliable mechanisms to identify and quantify noisy training samples. This paper introduces a novel Data-Centric benchmark, together with a novel, publicly available dataset and two techniques for identifying, quantifying, and ranking training samples according to their level of label noise in remote sensing semantic segmentation. Such proposed methods leverage complementary strategies based on model uncertainty, prediction consistency, and representation analysis, and consistently outperform established baselines across a range of experimental settings. The outcomes of this work are publicly available at https://github.com/keillernogueira/label_noise_segmentation.

  We introduce the Deep Semantic Statistics Matching (D2SM) Denoising Network. It exploits semantic features of pretrained classification networks, then it implicitly matches the probabilistic distribution of clear images at the semantic feature space. By learning to preserve the semantic distribution of denoised images, we empirically find our method significantly improves the denoising capabilities of networks.

  In this paper we address the problem of classification in the presence of label noise. In the heart of our method is a sample selection mechanism that relies on the consistency between the annotated label of a sample and the distribution of the labels in its neighborhood in the feature space. Our method significantly surpasses previous methods on both CIFARCIFAR100 with artificial noise and real-world noisy datasets such as WebVision and ANIMAL-10N.

  We focus on the semi-supervised segmentation problem where only a small set of labeled data is provided with a much larger collection of totally unlabeled images. A preferred high-level representation should capture the contextual information while not losing self-awareness. We present the Directional Contrastive Loss (DC Loss) to accomplish the consistency in a pixel-to-pixel manner.

We present an image-level robust learning method to accommodate more information as the complements to pixel-level learning.
