MoDA: Leveraging Motion Priors from Videos for Advancing Unsupervised Domain Adaptation in Semantic Segmentation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) has been a potent technique to handle the lack of annotations in the target domain, particularly in semantic segmentation task. This study introduces a different UDA scenarios where the target domain contains unlabeled video frames. Drawing upon recent advancements of self-supervised learning of the object motion from unlabeled videos with geometric constraint, we design a Motion-guided Domain Adaptive semantic segmentation framework (MoDA). MoDA harnesses the self-supervised object motion cues to facilitate cross-domain alignment for segmentation task. First, we present an object discovery module to localize and segment target moving objects using object motion information. Then, we propose a semantic mining module that takes the object masks to refine the pseudo labels in the target domain. Subsequently, these high-quality pseudo labels are used in the self-training loop to bridge the cross-domain gap. On domain adaptive video and image segmentation experiments, MoDA shows the effectiveness utilizing object motion as guidance for domain alignment compared with optical flow information. Moreover, MoDA exhibits versatility as it can complement existing state-of-the-art UDA approaches.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
