Abstract

Semantic segmentation plays a crucial role in various fields such as medical image analysis and battlefield situational awareness. However, a single client often cannot provide a sufficient quantity and diversity of training data for the model. Therefore, it is necessary to train semantic segmentation models from distributed data, which exhibits complex and diverse characteristics. To prevent data privacy breaches and safeguard data security, the application of federated learning in the collaborative training of semantic segmentation models across multiple clients has become a hot research topic in the field. Building upon the definition of federated semantic segmentation, this paper conducted a comprehensive analysis around the key characteristics of data heterogeneity and label deficiency in distributed complex data samples. The study encompassed a review of issues, methods, and exemplary model instances in federated semantic segmentation, evaluating the applicability and characteristics of different methods, summarizing current application outcomes. The paper also proposed potential research opportunities to address the issues of data heterogeneity and label deficiency. The research provides insights and references for the development of federated semantic segmentation methods and related studies tailored for distributed complex data samples.
