Abstract
In this paper we introduce VoteCut an innovative method for unsupervised object discovery that leverages feature representations from multiple self-supervised models. VoteCut employs normalized-cut based graph partitioning clustering and a pixel voting approach. Additionally We present CuVLER (Cut-Vote-and-LEaRn) a zero-shot model trained using pseudo-labels generated by VoteCut and a novel soft target loss to refine segmentation accuracy. Through rigorous evaluations across multiple datasets and several unsupervised setups our methods demonstrate significant improvements in comparison to previous state-of-the-art models. Our ablation studies further highlight the contributions of each component revealing the robustness and efficacy of our approach. Collectively VoteCut and CuVLER pave the way for future advancements in image segmentation.
