Frequency-mixed Single-source Domain Generalization for Medical Image Segmentation
Heng Li, Haojin Li, Wei Zhao, Huazhu Fu, Xiuyun Su, Yan Hu, Jiang Liu
The annotation scarcity of medical image segmentation poses challenges in collecting sufficient training data for deep learning models. Specifically, models trained on limited data may not generalize well to other unseen data domains, resulting in a domain shift issue. Consequently, domain generalization (DG) is developed to boost the performance of segmentation models on unseen domains. However, the DG setup requires multiple source domains, which impedes the efficient deployment of segmentation algorithms in clinical scenarios. To address this challenge and improve the segmentation model's generalizability, we propose a novel approach called the Frequency-mixed Single-source Domain Generalization method (FreeSDG). By analyzing the frequency's effect on domain discrepancy, FreeSDG leverages a mixed frequency spectrum to augment the single-source domain. Additionally, self-supervision is constructed in the domain augmentation to learn robust context-aware representations for the segmentation task. Experimental results on five datasets of three modalities demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. FreeSDG outperforms state-of-the-art methods and significantly improves the segmentation model's generalizability. Therefore, FreeSDG provides a promising solution for enhancing the generalization of medical image segmentation models, especially when annotated data is scarce.
