## Abstract

Semi-supervised semantic segmentation aims to learn from a small amount of labeled data and plenty of unlabeled ones for the segmentation task. The most common approach is to generate pseudo-labels for unlabeled images to augment the training data. However, the noisy pseudo-labels will lead to cumulative classification errors and aggravate the local inconsistency in prediction. This paper proposes a Region Relevance Network (RRN) to alleviate the problem mentioned above. Specifically, we first introduce a local pseudo-label filtering module that leverages discriminator networks to assess the accuracy of the pseudo-label at the region level. A local selection loss is proposed to mitigate the negative impact of wrong pseudo-labels in consistency regularization training. In addition, we propose a dynamic region-loss correction module, which takes the merit of network diversity to further rate the reliability of pseudo-labels and correct the convergence direction of the segmentation network with a dynamic region loss. Extensive experiments are conducted on PASCAL VOC 2012 and Cityscapes datasets with varying amounts of labeled data, demonstrating that our proposed approach achieves state-of-the-art performance compared to current counterparts.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
