Accurate segmentation of coastal aquaculture ponds from high-resolution remote sensing images is critical for applications such as coastal environmental monitoring, land use mapping, and infrastructure management. Semi-supervised learning (SSL) has emerged as a promising paradigm by leveraging labeled and unlabeled data to reduce annotation costs. However, existing SSL methods often suffer from pseudo-label quality degradation, manifested as boundary adhesion and intra-class inconsistencies, which significantly affect segmentation accuracy. To address these challenges, we propose Semi-BSU, a boundary-aware semi-supervised semantic segmentation framework based on the mean teacher architecture. Semi-BSU integrates two novel components: (1) a Boundary Consistency Constraint (BCC), which employs an auxiliary boundary classifier to enhance contour accuracy in pseudo labels, and (2) a Superpixel Refinement Module (SRM), which refines pseudo labels at the superpixel level to improve intra-class consistency. Comprehensive experiments conducted on GF6 and ZY1E high-resolution remote sensing imagery, covering diverse coastal environments with complex geomorphological features, demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach. With half of the training set labeled, Semi-BSU achieves an MIOU of 0.8606, F1 score of 0.8896, and Kappa coefficient of 0.8080, outperforming state-of-the-art methods including CPS, GCT, and UniMatch by 0.3–4.9% in MIOU. The method maintains a compact computational footprint with only 1.81 M parameters and 55.71 GFLOPs. Even with only 1/8 labeled data, it yields a 3.57% MIOU improvement over the supervised baseline. The results demonstrate that combining boundary-aware learning with superpixel-based refinement offers an effective and efficient strategy for high-quality pseudo-label generation and accurate mapping of coastal aquaculture ponds in remote sensing imagery.
