Abstract: This paper introduces a novel task and approach for one-shot medical video object segmentation using static image datasets. We address the critical challenge of limited annotated video data in medical imaging by proposing a framework that leverages readily available labeled static images to segment objects in medical videos with minimal annotation---specifically, a ground truth mask for only the first frame. Our method comprises training a one-shot segmentation model exclusively on images, followed by adapting it to medical videos through a test-time training strategy. This strategy incorporates a memory mechanism to utilize spatiotemporal context and employs self-distillation to maintain generalization capabilities. To facilitate research in this domain, we present OS-I2V-Seg, a comprehensive dataset comprising 28 categories in images and 4 categories in videos, totaling 68,416 image/frame-mask pairs. Extensive experiments demonstrate the efficacy of our approach in this extremely low-data regime for video object segmentation, establishing baseline performance on OS-I2V-Seg. The code and data will be made publicly available.
