由模型翻译 · 术语统一 · 请对照原文核对关键结论组织病理学图像中的细胞核实例分割对诊断准确性和下游计算任务至关重要,但该任务严重依赖昂贵的像素级标注。尽管点级标注大幅减轻了病理学家的标注负担,许多现有方法仅使用单一类型的图像,忽视了其他表示中所包含的互补信息。为解决这一局限,我们提出 DFGNet,一个弱监督框架,通过联合建模 RGB 图像及其对应的苏木精分量,实现双表示互补融合与交错引导学习。在互补融合方面,我们提出互易跨尺度动态融合模块(RCDF)与熵置信聚合单元(ECAU),以整合多尺度互补线索并自适应地组合双分支的输出。在交错引导方面,我们还提出交错点引导注意力(IGA),使分割任务与核预测任务之间能够进行双向精化。在三个基准数据集上的实验表明,DFGNet 在多项指标上达到最优性能,并显著优于现有方法。它还在不同组织类型上展现出强泛化能力,并在真实场景中对标注偏移保持鲁棒。

Nuclei instance segmentation in histopathology images is essential for diagnostic accuracy and downstream computational tasks, yet this task relies heavily on expensive pixel level annotations. Although point level annotations substantially reduce the annotation burden for pathologists, many existing methods utilize only a single type of image and overlook the complementary information contained in alternative representations. To address this limitation, we propose DFGNet, a weakly supervised framework that utilizes dual-representation complementary fusion and interleaved guidance learning by jointly modeling RGB images and their corresponding Hematoxylin components. From the complementary fusion perspective, we propose a Reciprocal Cross-scale Dynamic Fusion Module (RCDF) and an Entropy Confidence Aggregation Unit (ECAU) to integrate multi-scale complementary cues and adaptively combine the outputs of the dual branches. In terms of interleaved guidance, we also propose an Interleaved point-Guided Attention (IGA) that enables bidirectional refinement between the segmentation task and the kernel prediction task. Experiments on three benchmark datasets show that DFGNet achieves state-of-the-art performance across multiple metrics and significantly outperforms existing methods. It also demonstrates strong generalization across tissue types and remains robust to annotation shifts in real-world scenarios.
