Unsupervised domain adaptation is crucial for the applications of deep learning-based prostate MR image segmentation models. Our method designs an effective approach to generate highly accurate pseudo labels for unlabeled target domain training data and shows promising test results.
Figure 1. The proposed framework. Source domain labeled training data are employed first to train a network that generates pseudo labels for the target domain unlabeled training data. Then, the combined source domain labeled training data and target domain pseudo-labeled training data are utilized to achieve our proposed cross-domain cross-network optimization.
Figure 4. Example segmentation maps when transferring models from Domain 1 to Domain 2. From left to right, the three columns correspond to the transverse plane, the sagittal plane, and the coronal plane. From the head to bottom, the four rows refer to the ground-truth manual segmentation, the outputs of models trained directly on Domain 2 training set, the outputs of models trained on Domain 1 labeled training set, and the outputs of models trained on Domain 1 labeled training set and Domain 2 pseudo-labeled training set with the proposed cross-domain cross-network optimization method.
