## Abstract

Semantic segmentation in rainy scenes is a challenging task due to the complex environment, class distribution imbalance, and limited annotated data. To address these challenges, we propose a novel framework that utilizes semi-supervised learning and pre-trained segmentation foundation model to achieve superior performance. Specifically, our framework leverages the semi-supervised model as the basis for generating raw semantic segmentation results, while also serving as a guiding force to prompt pre-trained foundation model to compensate for knowledge gaps with entropy-based anchors. In addition, to minimize the impact of irrelevant segmentation masks generated by the pre-trained foundation model, we also propose a mask filtering and fusion mechanism that optimizes raw semantic segmentation results based on the principle of minimum risk. The proposed framework achieves superior segmentation performance on the Rainy WCity dataset and is awarded the first prize in the sub-track of STRAIN in ICME 2023 Grand Challenges.

## 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.
