Abstract

Open vocabulary segmentation is a challenging task that aims to segment out the thousands of unseen categories. Directly applying CLIP to open-vocabulary semantic segmentation is challenging due to the granularity gap between its image-level contrastive learning and the pixel-level recognition required for segmentation. To address these challenges, we propose a unified pipeline that leverages physical structure regularization to enhance the generalizability and robustness of open vocabulary segmentation. By incorporating physical structure information, which is independent of the training data, we aim to reduce bias and improve the model’s performance on unseen classes. We utilize low-level structures such as edges and keypoints as regularization terms, as they are easier to obtain and strongly correlated with segmentation boundary information. These structures are used as pseudo-ground truth to supervise the model. Furthermore, inspired by the effectiveness of comparative learning in human cognition, we introduce the weighted patched alignment loss. This loss function contrasts similar and dissimilar samples to acquire low-dimensional representations that capture the distinctions between different object classes. By incorporating physical knowledge and leveraging weighted patched alignment loss, we aim to improve the model’s generalizability, robustness, and capability to recognize diverse object classes. The experiments on the COCO Stuff, Pascal VOC, Pascal Context-59, Pascal Context-459, ADE20K-150, and ADE20K-847 datasets demonstrate that our proposed method consistently improves baselines and achieves new state-of-the-art in the open vocabulary segmentation task.
利用加权修补对齐损失进行物理引导的开放词汇分割
开放词汇分割是一项具有挑战性的任务,其目的是分割出数千个未见类别。将 CLIP 直接应用于开放词汇语义分割具有挑战性,因为其图像级对比学习与分割所需的像素级识别之间存在粒度差距。为了应对这些挑战,我们提出了一个统一的管道,利用物理结构正则化来增强开放词汇分割的通用性和鲁棒性。通过纳入独立于训练数据的物理结构信息,我们旨在减少偏差并提高模型在未见类别上的性能。我们利用边缘和关键点等低级结构作为正则化条件,因为它们更容易获得,而且与分割边界信息密切相关。这些结构被用作监督模型的伪地面真实信息。此外,受人类认知中比较学习有效性的启发,我们引入了加权修补对齐损失。该损失函数对相似样本和不相似样本进行对比,从而获得低维表征,捕捉不同物体类别之间的区别。通过结合物理知识和利用加权修补配准损失,我们旨在提高模型的通用性、鲁棒性和识别不同物体类别的能力。在 COCO Stuff、Pascal VOC、Pascal Context-59、Pascal Context-459、ADE20K-150 和 ADE20K-847 数据集上的实验表明,我们提出的方法在开放词汇分割任务中不断改进基线并达到新的一流水平。
