Foundation Segmentation Models (FSMs) show suboptimal performance on unconventional image domains like camouflage objects. Fine-tuning is often impractical due to data preparation challenges, time limits, and optimization issues. To boost segmentation performance while keeping zero-shot features, on…
N:M sparsity stands as a progressively important tool for DNN compression, achieving practical speedups by stipulating at most N non-zero components within M sequential weights. Unfortunately, most existing works identify the N:M sparse mask through dense backward propagation to update all weights,…
Open-vocabulary panoptic segmentation aims to segment and classify everything in diverse scenes across an unbounded vocabulary. Existing methods typically employ two-stage or single-stage framework. The two-stage framework involves cropping the image multiple times using masks generated by a mask ge…
Industrial anomaly segmentation relies heavily on pixel-level annotations, yet real-world anomalies are often scarce, diverse, and costly to label. Segmentation-oriented industrial anomaly synthesis (SIAS) has emerged as a promising alternative; however, existing methods struggle to balance sampling…
"Existing camouflaged object detection (COD) methods depend heavily on large-scale pixel-level annotations. However, acquiring such annotations is laborious due to the inherent camouflage characteristics of the objects. Semi-supervised learning offers a promising solution to this challenge. Yet, its…
In this work, we propose a training-free method to inject visual prompts into Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) through learnable latent variable optimization. We observe that attention, as the core module of MLLMs, connects text prompt tokens and visual tokens, ultimately determining the fin…
The Segment Anything Model (SAM) marks a notable milestone in segmentation models highlighted by its robust zero-shot capabilities and ability to handle diverse prompts. SAM follows a pipeline that separates interactive segmentation into image preprocessing through a large encoder and interactive in…
In recent years, there has been significant progress in employing color images for anomaly detection in industrial scenarios, but it is insufficient for identifying anomalies that are invisible in RGB images alone. As a supplement, introducing extra modalities such as depth and surface normal maps c…
Weakly supervised object localization (WSOL) aims to localize objects based on only image-level labels as supervision. Recently, transformers have been introduced into WSOL, yielding impressive results. The self-attention mechanism and multilayer perceptron structure in transformers preserve long-ra…
Continual Learning (CL) is the constant development of complex behaviors by building upon previously acquired skills. Yet, current CL algorithms tend to incur class-level forgetting as the label information is often quickly overwritten by new knowledge. This motivates attempts to mine instance-level…
Interactive image segmentation enables annotators to efficiently perform pixel-level annotation for segmentation tasks. However, the existing interactive segmentation pipeline suffers from inefficient computations of interactive models because of the following two issues. First, annotators' later cl…
Incremental learning could be roughly divided into two categories, i.e., class- and task-incremental learning. The main difference is whether the task ID is given during evaluation. In this paper, we show this task information is indeed a strong prior knowledge, which will bring significant improvem…
To bridge the ever-increasing gap between deep neural networks' complexity and hardware capability, network quantization has attracted more and more research attention. The latest trend of mixed precision quantization takes advantage of hardware's multiple bit-width arithmetic operations to unleash…
Pseudo-labeling is significant for semi-supervised instance segmentation, which generates instance masks and classes from unannotated images for subsequent training. However, in existing pipelines, pseudo-labels that contain valuable information may be directly filtered out due to mismatches in clas…
Referring Expression Comprehension (REC) is a task of grounding the referent based on an expression, and its development is greatly limited by expensive instance-level annotations. Most existing weakly supervised methods are built based on two-stage detection networks, which are computationally expe…
Referring expression comprehension (REC) often requires a large number of instance-level annotations for fully supervised learning, which are laborious and expensive. In this paper, we present the first attempt of semi-supervised learning for REC and propose a strong baseline method called RefTeache…
Knowledge distillation (KD) has been widely explored in unsupervised anomaly detection (AD). The student is assumed to constantly produce representations of typical patterns within trained data, named "normality", and the representation discrepancy between the teacher and student model is identified…
Recent Few-Shot Learning (FSL) methods put emphasis on generating a discriminative embedding features to precisely measure the similarity between support and query sets. Current CNN-based cross-attention approaches generate discriminative representations via enhancing the mutually semantic similar r…
Text-driven 3D stylization is a complex and crucial task in the fields of computer vision (CV) and computer graphics (CG), aimed at transforming a bare mesh to fit a target text. Prior methods adopt text-independent multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) to predict the attributes of the target mesh with the…
Pseudo-label-based semi-supervised learning (SSL) has achieved great success on raw data utilization. However, its training procedure suffers from confirmation bias due to the noise contained in self-generated artificial labels. Moreover, the model's judgment becomes noisier in real-world applicatio…
Video anomaly detection aims to automatically identify unusual objects or behaviours by learning from normal videos. Previous methods tend to use simplistic reconstruction or prediction constraints, which leads to the insufficiency of learned representations for normal data. As such, we propose a no…
Model generalization to the unseen scenes is crucial to real-world applications, such as autonomous driving, which requires robust vision systems. To enhance the model generalization, domain generalization through learning the domain-invariant representation has been widely studied. However, most ex…
This paper focus on few-shot object detection~(FSOD) and instance segmentation~(FSIS), which requires a model to quickly adapt to novel classes with a few labeled instances. The existing methods severely suffer from bias classification because of the missing label issue which naturally exists in an…
The huge burden of computation and memory are two obstacles in ultra-high resolution image segmentation. To tackle these issues, most of the previous works follow the global-local refinement pipeline, which pays more attention to the memory consumption but neglects the inference speed. In comparison…
Weakly supervised object localization (WSOL) aims to learn object localizer solely by using image-level labels. The convolution neural network (CNN) based techniques often result in highlighting the most discriminative part of objects while ignoring the entire object extent. Recently, the transforme…
