Semisupervised Semantic Segmentation with Mutual Correction Learning.

The semisupervised semantic segmentation method uses unlabeled data to effectively reduce the required labeled data, and the pseudo supervision performance is greatly influenced by pseudo labels. Therefore, we propose a semisupervised semantic segmentation method based on mutual correction learning, which effectively corrects the wrong convergence direction of pseudo supervision. The well-calibrated segmentation confidence maps are generated through the multiscale feature fusion attention mechanism module. More importantly, using internal knowledge, a mutual correction mechanism based on consistency regularization is proposed to correct the convergence direction of pseudo labels during cross pseudo supervision. The multiscale feature fusion attention mechanism module and mutual correction learning improve the accuracy of the entire learning process. Experiments show that the MIoU (mean intersection over union) reaches 75.32%, 77.80%, 78.95%, and 79.16% using 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 labeled data on PASCAL VOC 2012. The results show that the new approach achieves an advanced level.
