Learning from Partially Overlapping Labels: Image Segmentation under Annotation Shift
Scarcity of high quality annotated images remains a limiting factor for training accurate image segmentation models. While more and more annotated datasets become publicly available, the number of samples in each individual database is often small. Combining different databases to create larger amounts of training data is appealing yet challenging due to the heterogeneity as a result of differences in data acquisition and annotation processes, often yielding incompatible or even conflicting information. In this paper, we investigate and propose several strategies for learning from partially overlapping labels in the context of abdominal organ segmentation. We find that combining a semi-supervised approach with an adaptive cross entropy loss can successfully exploit heterogeneously annotated data and substantially improve segmentation accuracy compared to baseline and alternative approaches.

Marginal loss and exclusion loss for partially supervised multi-organ segmentation
Annotating multiple organs in medical images is both costly and time-consuming; therefore, existing multi-organ datasets with labels are often low in sample size and mostly partially labeled, that is, a dataset has a few…
