The paper presents a weakly supervised semantic segmentation approach for mapping seagrass habitats using side‑scan sonar imagery. By training a ViT‑based encoder‑decoder with image‑level labels, class activation maps are refined into pseudo‑labels and iteratively self‑trained, achieving high mean intersection‑over‑union scores (up to 89.3 %) without pixel‑level annotations. The method also benefits from self‑supervised pretraining and demonstrates generalizability in field trials.

The paper presents a method that leverages sparse expert point annotations from historical benthic surveys to improve dense segmentation of marine imagery. By using these points as visual prompts for the SAM2 foundation model and introducing a mechanism to filter out unreliable points, the authors generate high‑quality pseudo‑ground‑truth masks that train more accurate fine‑grained semantic segmentation models. The approach is validated on public benthic datasets and a new benchmark featuring real‑world sparse annotations, aiming to enable scalable ecological analysis.

The paper introduces a semi‑supervised hyperspectral image classification framework that combines spatial prior information with a dynamic learning mechanism. It proposes an Edge‑Aware Superpixel Label Propagation module to reduce boundary label diffusion and a Dynamic History‑Fused Prediction method to stabilize pseudo‑labels over time. Additionally, an Adaptive Tripartite Sample Categorization strategy is used to hierarchically exploit easy, ambiguous, and hard samples, resulting in improved pseudo‑label quality and learning efficiency. The combined Dynamic Reliability‑Enhanced Pseudo‑Label Framework achieves spatio‑temporal consistency optimization and demonstrates superior performance on four benchmark datasets.

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.
