Thin Semantics Enhancement via High-Frequency Priori Rule for Thin Structures Segmentation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Receptive field-based segmentation models represent features in receptive fields having weak perception for thin semantics in thin structures segmentation, due to the challenges in small local size and large global variation. High-frequency (HiFe) components have strong thin perception ability and is stable for global variation, but its weak adaptability limits its direct application. We propose a HiFe priori rule which enables the network to adaptively extract and fuse HiFe components, enhancing the thin semantics and making the network naturally prefer thin structures for their segmentation. We further propose High-Frequency Semantics Enhancement Network (HiFeNet) based on our HiFe priori rule, boosting the SOTA methods in thin structures segmentation: 1) Our Deep High Frequency (DHiFe) block learns to extract task-dependent HiFe components and adds them to feature maps, achieving great perception of thin structures. 2) Our Latent Residual Denoising (LRD) block progressively weakens task-independent features via hierarchical residuals and learns to fuse HiFe components back to feature maps, further enhancing the thin semantics and weakening the interference of global variation. Extensive experiments on the retinal vessel [1], [2], [3] and Massachusetts road [4] segmentation datasets show great superiority of our HiFeNet.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
