arXiv:2608. 07575v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Confocal microscopy of optically cleared and swelled tissue resolves complex biological structures in 3D, but such acquisitions are highly anisotropic: along the under-sampled axial direction the structure can appear discontinuous, hampering reconstruction and automated quantitative analysis.

The paper introduces a geometry‑guided sampling operator that directs feature sampling rather than altering convolution kernels in 3D encoder‑decoder networks. By predicting local orientations and bounded step sizes, the operator samples symmetrically around each voxel, generating compact geometric and boundary cues that improve fine‑structure segmentation. Replacing stride‑1 and stride‑2 operations in a 3D U‑Net yields consistent gains on BraTS, MSD Hepatic Vessel, and TDSC‑ABUS datasets, with better boundary metrics and fewer parameters, and the operator can be integrated into other backbones without architectural changes.

The paper introduces SSS, a semi‑supervised framework that builds on the Vision Foundation Model SAM‑2 to improve medical image segmentation. It combines a weak‑to‑strong consistency regularization with a Discriminative Feature Enhancement mechanism and a prompt generator that uses Physical Constraints with a Sliding Window to supply prompts for unlabeled data. Experiments on the ACDC and BHSD datasets show that SSS outperforms prior methods, achieving a 53.15 Dice score on BHSD, a +3.65 improvement over the state of the art.
