• Abstract summary: We propose a new task set named zero-shot instance segmentation (ZSI) In the training phase, the model is trained with seen data, while in the testing phase, it is used to segment all seen and unseen instances. We present a new benchmark for zero-shot instance segmentation based on the MS-COCO dataset.

• Abstract: Deep learning has significantly improved the precision of instance segmentation with abundant labeled data. However, in many areas like medical and manufacturing, collecting sufficient data is extremely hard and labeling this data requires high professional skills. We follow this motivation and propose a new task set named zero-shot instance segmentation (ZSI). In the training phase of ZSI, the model is trained with seen data, while in the testing phase, it is used to segment all seen and unseen instances. We first formulate the ZSI task and propose a method to tackle the challenge, which consists of Zero-shot Detector, Semantic Mask Head, Background Aware RPN and Synchronized Background Strategy. We present a new benchmark for zero-shot instance segmentation based on the MS-COCO dataset. The extensive empirical results in this benchmark show that our method not only surpasses the state-of-the-art results in zero-shot object detection task but also achieves promising performance on ZSI. Our approach will serve as a solid baseline and facilitate future research in zero-shot instance segmentation.

UOIS-SAM integrates two key components: (i) a Heatmap-based Prompt Generator (HPG) to generate class-agnostic point prompts with precise foreground prediction, and (ii) a Hierarchical Discrimination Network (HDNet) that adapts SAM's mask decoder.

• Generalized Few-Shot Semantic Segmentation in Remote Sensing: Challenge and Benchmark [18.636210870172675]
  Few-shot semantic segmentation can encourage deep learning models to learn from few labelled examples for novel classes not seen during the training. The generalized few-shot segmentation setting has an additional challenge which encourages models not only to adapt to the novel classes but also to maintain strong performance on the training base classes. We release the dataset augmenting OpenEarthMap with additional classes labelled for the generalized few-shot evaluation setting.

  We present ZeroSeg, a novel method that leverages the existing pretrained vision-language model (VL) to train semantic segmentation models. ZeroSeg overcomes this by distilling the visual concepts learned by VL models into a set of segment tokens, each summarizing a localized region of the target image. Our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance when compared to other zero-shot segmentation methods under the same training data.

  We present an economic active learning setting, named active pointly-supervised instance segmentation (APIS) APIS starts with box-level annotations and iteratively samples a point within the box and asks if it falls on the object.

  We introduce a new setting of Novel Class Discovery in Semantic (NCDSS) It aims at segmenting unlabeled images containing new classes given prior knowledge from a labeled set of disjoint classes. In NCDSS, we need to distinguish the objects and background, and to handle the existence of multiple classes within an image. We propose the Entropy-based Uncertainty Modeling and Self-training (EUMS) framework to overcome noisy pseudo-labels.
