Vision-language models like CLIP excel at zero-shot recognition but struggle with continual learning due to two critical issues: (1) severe distribution gap between pretraining captions and post-training class names, and (2) performance mismatch between vision-only and dual-encoder approaches--visio
Co-salient Object Detection (CoSOD) aims to segment salient objects that consistently appear across a group of related images. Despite the notable progress achieved by recent training-based approaches, they still remain constrained by the closed-set datasets and exhibit limited generalization. Howev
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) like LLaVA have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in multi-modal understanding and generation. This success motivates us to investigate whether the inherent prior knowledge embedded within such MLLMs contains sufficient spatial awareness for dense predicti
Pursuing training-free open-vocabulary semantic segmentation in an efficient and generalizable manner remains challenging due to the deep-seated spatial bias in CLIP. To overcome the limitations of existing solutions, this work moves beyond the CLIP-based paradigm and harnesses the recent spatially-…
Training semantic segmenter with synthetic data has been attracting great attention due to its easy accessibility and huge quantities. Most previous methods focused on producing large-scale synthetic image-annotation samples and then training the segmenter with all of them. However, such a solution…
This paper tackles the challenge of anomaly image synthesis and segmentation to generate various anomaly images and their segmentation labels to mitigate the issue of data scarcity. Existing approaches employ the precise mask to guide the generation, relying on additional mask generators, leading to
Training-free open-vocabulary semantic segmentation has advanced with vision-language models like CLIP, which exhibit strong zero-shot abilities. However, CLIP's attention mechanism often wrongly emphasises specific image tokens, namely outliers, which results in irrelevant over-activation. Existing…
Most continual segmentation methods tackle the problem as a per-pixel classification task. However such a paradigm is very challenging and we find query-based segmenters with built-in objectness have inherent advantages compared with per-pixel ones as objectness has strong transfer ability and forge…
Weakly supervised semantic segmentation has witnessed great achievements with image-level labels. Several recent approaches use the CLIP model to generate pseudo labels for training an individual segmentation model while there is no attempt to apply the CLIP model as the backbone to directly segment…
Co-salient object detection, with the target of detecting co-existed salient objects among a group of images, is gaining popularity. Recent works use the attention mechanism or extra information to aggregate common co-salient features, leading to incomplete even incorrect responses for target object…
Sparse labels have been attracting much attention in recent years. However, the performance gap between weakly supervised and fully supervised salient object detection methods is huge, and most previous weakly supervised works adopt complex training methods with many bells and whistles. In this work…
