Abstract：Shale pore structures contribute significantly to shale gas reservoirs,with their shape,size,connectivity,and development directly affecting storage.To achieve intelligent recognition and classification of shale pores,this study proposes a shale-pore semantic segmentation network based on a pseudo-label method.A total of 251 scanning electron microscopy images of the Longmaxi Formation shale reservoir in Chongqing are used,and the Pyramid Scene Parsing Network is utilized for training.Additionally,pseudo-label generation is employed,which involves annotating only a few images and using the model's segmentation results on unlabeled images for iterative training.Subsequently,ensemble learning is conducted to improve the model's accuracy and generalizability.The iteratively trained model has a mean intersection-over-union(MIoU)score exceeding 0.70.Comparative experiments show that employing pseudo-labeling and ensemble learning increases the model's MIoU by approximately 0.07.Furthermore,pseudo-labeling enhances the generalizability of neural networks while addressing the high time cost of manual annotation required in previous deep-learning segmentation methods,whereas ensemble learning stably increases the model's accuracy.
