## Abstract

Semi-supervised semantic segmentation has attracted considerable attention for its ability to mitigate the reliance on extensive labeled data. However, existing consistency regularization methods only utilize high certain pixels with prediction confidence surpassing a fixed threshold for training, failing to fully leverage the potential supervisory information within the network. Therefore, this paper proposes the Uncertainty-participation Context Consistency Learning (UCCL) method to explore richer supervisory signals. Specifically, we first design the semantic backpropagation update (SBU) strategy to fully exploit the knowledge from uncertain pixel regions, enabling the model to learn consistent pixel-level semantic information from those areas. Furthermore, we propose the class-aware knowledge regulation (CKR) module to facilitate the regulation of class-level semantic features across different augmented views, promoting consistent learning of class-level semantic information within the encoder. Experimental results on two public benchmarks demonstrate that our proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance. Our code is available at https://github.com/YUKEKEJAN/UCCL.

## 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.
