Semi-supervised semantic segmentation relieves the reliance on large-scale labeled data by leveraging unlabeled data. Recent semi-supervised semantic segmentation approaches mainly resort to pseudo-labeling methods to exploit unlabeled data. However, unreliable pseudo-labeling can undermine the semi-supervision processes. In this paper, we propose an algorithm called Multi-Level Label Correction (MLLC), which aims to use graph neural networks to capture structural relationships in Semantic-Level Graphs (SLGs) and Class-Level Graphs (CLGs) to rectify erroneous pseudo-labels. Specifically, SLGs represent semantic affinities between pairs of pixel features, and CLGs describe classification consistencies between pairs of pixel labels. With the support of proximate pattern information from graphs, MLLC can rectify incorrectly predicted pseudo-labels and can facilitate discriminative feature representations. We design an end-to-end network to train and perform this effective label corrections mechanism. Experiments demonstrate that MLLC can significantly improve supervised baselines and outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in different scenarios on Cityscapes and PASCAL VOC 2012 datasets. Specifically, MLLC improves the supervised baseline by at least 5% and 2% with DeepLabV2 and DeepLabV3+ respectively under different partition protocols.

With the development of image recovery models,especially those based on adversarial and perceptual losses,the detailed texture portions of images are being recovered more naturally.However,these restored images are similar but not identical in detail texture to their reference images.With traditional image quality assessment methods,results with better subjective perceived quality often score lower in objective scoring.Assessment methods suffer from subjective and objective inconsistencies.This paper proposes a regional differential information entropy (RDIE) method for image quality assessment to address this problem.This approach allows better assessment of similar but not identical textural details and achieves good agreement with perceived quality.Neural networks are used to reshape the process of calculating information entropy,improving the speed and efficiency of the operation. Experiments conducted with this study image quality assessment dataset and the PIPAL dataset show that the proposed RDIE method yields a high degree of agreement with people average opinion scores compared to other image quality assessment metrics,proving that RDIE can better quantify the perceived quality of images.

Angular measurements is essential to make a resonable treatment for Hallux valgus (HV), a common forefoot deformity. However, it still depends on manual labeling and measurement, which is time-consuming and sometimes unreliable. Automating this process is a thing of concern. However, it lack of dataset and the keypoints based method which made a great success in pose estimation is not suitable for this field.To solve the problems, we made a dataset and developed an algorithm based on deep learning and linear regression. It shows great fitting ability to the ground truth.
