While recent low-light image enhancement (LLIE) methods have made significant advancements, they still face challenges in terms of low visual quality and weak generalization ability when applied to complex scenarios. To address these issues, we propose a semi-supervised method based on latent mean-teacher and Gaussian process, named LMT-GP. We first design a latent mean-teacher framework that integrates both labeled and unlabeled data, as well as their latent vectors, into model training. Meanwhile, we use a mean-teacher-assisted Gaussian process learning strategy to establish a connection between the latent and pseudo-latent vectors obtained from the labeled and unlabeled data. To guide the learning process, we utilize an assisted Gaussian process regression (GPR) loss function. Furthermore, we design a pseudo-label adaptation module (PAM) to ensure the reliability of the network learning. To demonstrate our method's generalization ability and effectiveness, we apply it to multiple LLIE datasets and high-level vision tasks. Experiment results demonstrate that our method achieves high generalization performance and image quality. The code is available at https://github.com/HFUT-CV/LMT-GP.

Quantizing deep neural networks ,reducing the precision (bit-width) of their computations, can remarkably decrease memory usage and accelerate processing, making these models more suitable for large-scale medical imaging applications with limited computational resources. However, many existing methods studied "fake quantization", which simulates lower precision operations during inference, but does not actually reduce model size or improve real-world inference speed. Moreover, the potential of deploying real 3D low-bit quantization on modern GPUs is still unexplored. In this study, we introduce a real post-training quantization (PTQ) framework that successfully implements true 8-bit quantization on state-of-the-art (SOTA) 3D medical segmentation models, i.e., U-Net, SegResNet, SwinUNETR, nnU-Net, UNesT, TransUNet, ST-UNet,and VISTA3D. Our approach involves two main steps. First, we use TensorRT to perform fake quantization for both weights and activations with unlabeled calibration dataset. Second, we convert this fake quantization into real quantization via TensorRT engine on real GPUs, resulting in real-world reductions in model size and inference latency. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our framework effectively performs 8-bit quantization on GPUs without sacrificing model performance. This advancement enables the deployment of efficient deep learning models in medical imaging applications where computational resources are constrained. The code and models have been released, including U-Net, TransUNet pretrained on the BTCV dataset for abdominal (13-label) segmentation, UNesT pretrained on the Whole Brain Dataset for whole brain (133-label) segmentation, and nnU-Net, SegResNet, SwinUNETR and VISTA3D pretrained on TotalSegmentator V2 for full body (104-label) segmentation. https://github.com/hrlblab/PTQ.
