Abstract:

Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is the leading cause of dry eyes, and the accurate segmentation of meibomian glands in infrared meibography images is essential for its evaluation and diagnosis. However, obtaining pixel-wise manual annotation remains a highly time-consuming and knowledge-intensive work, severely hindering the progress of segmentation technologies. Using weak annotation, such as scribble, has demonstrated promise in reduction of annotation cost. But these weakly supervised methods still suffer from limited supervision of sparse annotations. In this paper, we propose a novel scribble-supervised segmentation model for meibomian glands, exploring the perturbation and conflict characteristics inherent in the dual-branch structure. Our model leverages an additional branch to induce perturbations, generating pseudo-labels by dynamically mixing the predictions of both branches. This approach enriches the supervision information and mitigates the risk of convergence to local optima. Meanwhile, an uncertainty-based separated self-training strategy is introduced to handle conflict prediction, guiding the model to discern and extract valuable information from predictions with varying confidence levels. Experimental results on an internal dataset demonstrate that our approach achieves outstanding performance. It outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods, even with just 30% of the usual annotation amounts. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2025.
