Abstract

The present disclosure provides a computer-implemented method, a device, and a computer program product using a user-guided domain adaptation (UGDA) architecture. The method includes training a combined model using a source image dataset by minimizing a supervised loss of the combined model to obtain first sharing weights for a first FCN and second sharing weights for a second FCN; training a discriminator by inputting extreme-point/mask prediction pairs for each of the source image dataset and a target image dataset and by minimizing a discriminator loss to obtain discriminator weights; and finetuning the combined model by predicting extreme-point/mask prediction pairs for the target image dataset to fool the discriminator by matching a distribution of the extreme-point/mask prediction pairs for the target image dataset with a distribution of the extreme-point/mask prediction pairs for the source image dataset.
