This invention presents a passive domain adaptive fundus segmentation method based on evidence representation and marginal screening. Under the condition that the source domain training images and their pixel-level annotations are inaccessible, a Student network and a Teacher network are constructed to learn segmentation of the target domain fundus image. The network outputs positive foreground evidence and negative background evidence for each segmentation channel, and constructs a pixel-level Beta distribution. Based on the Beta distribution, foreground probability, evidence margin, and evidence strength are calculated. Reliable positive pseudo-labels are obtained through joint screening, and a weighted segmentation loss is constructed by combining pseudo-label weights. Simultaneously, regularization loss and evidence strength constraint loss are introduced to optimize the Student network. Finally, the exponential moving average coefficient is dynamically adjusted based on the amount of evidence to update the Teacher network parameters. This method can effectively suppress the propagation of pseudo-label noise and improve the accuracy, stability, and cross-domain adaptability of optic cup and optic disc segmentation in the target domain fundus image.
