The work proposes PC-Seg (Progressive Cross-view Segmentation), a five-stage curriculum learning framework in which a single 2D model first learns cross-view consistency between standard B-scans and orthogonal slices to generate reliable volumetric pseudo-labels, which are then distilled into a 3D model and followed by 2D/3D co-training with ensemble pseudo-labeling; on the public MSHC and Duke DME OCT datasets it reaches segmentation accuracy comparable to fully supervised learning using only about 0.7% of the labeled data, outperforming the semi-supervised and retinal layer segmentation methods it compares against.
