contents Despite recent advances in semantic segmentation, an inevitable challenge is the performance degradation caused by the domain shift in real applications. Current dominant approach to solve this problem is unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA). However, the absence of labeled target data in UDA is overly restrictive and limits performance. To overcome this limitation, a more practical scenario called semi-supervised domain adaptation (SSDA) has been proposed. Existing SSDA methods are derived from the UDA paradigm and primarily focus on leveraging the unlabeled target data and source data. In this paper, we highlight the significance of exploiting the intra-domain information between the labeled target data and unlabeled target data. Instead of solely using the scarce labeled target data for supervision, we propose a novel SSDA framework that incorporates both Inter and Intra Domain Mixing (IIDM), where inter-domain mixing mitigates the source-target domain gap and intra-domain mixing enriches the available target domain information, and the network can capture more domain-invariant features. We also explore different domain mixing strategies to better exploit the target domain information. Comprehensive experiments conducted on the GTA5 to Cityscapes and SYNTHIA to Cityscapes benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of IIDM, surpassing previous methods by a large margin.
