• Abstract summary: Few-shot segmentation aims at assigning a category label to each image pixel with few annotated samples. Existing meta-learning method tends to fail in generating category-specifically discriminative descriptor when the visual features extracted from support images are marginalized in embedding space. This paper presents an adaptive framework tuning, in which the distribution of latent features across different episodes is dynamically adjusted based on a self-segmentation scheme.

• Abstract: Few-shot segmentation aims at assigning a category label to each image pixel with few annotated samples. It is a challenging task since the dense prediction can only be achieved under the guidance of latent features defined by sparse annotations. Existing meta-learning method tends to fail in generating category-specifically discriminative descriptor when the visual features extracted from support images are marginalized in embedding space. To address this issue, this paper presents an adaptive tuning framework, in which the distribution of latent features across different episodes is dynamically adjusted based on a self-segmentation scheme, augmenting category-specific descriptors for label prediction. Specifically, a novel self-supervised inner-loop is firstly devised as the base learner to extract the underlying semantic features from the support image. Then, gradient maps are calculated by back-propagating self-supervised loss through the obtained features, and leveraged as guidance for augmenting the corresponding elements in embedding space. Finally, with the ability to continuously learn from different episodes, an optimization-based meta-learner is adopted as outer loop of our proposed framework to gradually refine the segmentation results. Extensive experiments on benchmark PASCAL-$5^{i}$ and COCO-$20^{i}$ datasets demonstrate the superiority of our proposed method over state-of-the-art.

  Few-shot semantic segmentation (FSS) aims to form class-agnostic models segmenting unseen classes with only a handful of annotations.

  Few-shot semantic segmentation aims to segment novel-class objects in a query image with only a few annotated examples. Most of advanced solutions exploit a metric learning framework that performs segmentation through matching each pixel to a learned foreground prototype. This framework suffers from biased classification due to incomplete construction of sample pairs with the foreground prototype only.
