XSSR: Cross-Domain Self-Supervised Representative Selection for Efficient Annotation in Medical Image Segmentation 文章

arXiv:2606.04301v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Acquiring labeled medical image data is resource-intensive and a challenge further exacerbated in cross-domain scenarios where source and target datasets differ in imaging equipment, population, or clinical site. This study introduces XSSR (Cross-Domain Self-Supervised Representative Selection), a framework designed to minimize annotation effort in the target domain while maintaining robust segmentation performance. XSSR comprises three stages: first, a Masked Autoencoder (MAE) is trained on unlabeled source data to establish a shared embedding space without requiring target labels; second, a greedy selection algorithm scores unlabeled target samples based on a composite density, novelty, and diversity criterion; and third, a U-Net segmentation model is trained exclusively on the selected subset.
