• Abstract summary: Aerial imagery segmentation has some unique challenges, the most critical one among which lies in foreground-background imbalance. We propose Adaptive Focus Framework (AF$), which adopts a hierarchical segmentation procedure and focuses on adaptively utilizing multi-scale representations. AF$ has significantly improved the accuracy on three widely used aerial benchmarks, as fast as the mainstream method.

• Abstract: As a specific semantic segmentation task, aerial imagery segmentation has been widely employed in high spatial resolution (HSR) remote sensing images understanding. Besides common issues (e.g. large scale variation) faced by general semantic segmentation tasks, aerial imagery segmentation has some unique challenges, the most critical one among which lies in foreground-background imbalance. There have been some recent efforts that attempt to address this issue by proposing sophisticated neural network architectures, since they can be used to extract informative multi-scale feature representations and increase the discrimination of object boundaries. Nevertheless, many of them merely utilize those multi-scale representations in ad-hoc measures but disregard the fact that the semantic meaning of objects with various sizes could be better identified via receptive fields of diverse ranges. In this paper, we propose Adaptive Focus Framework (AF$_2$), which adopts a hierarchical segmentation procedure and focuses on adaptively utilizing multi-scale representations generated by widely adopted neural network architectures. Particularly, a learnable module, called Adaptive Confidence Mechanism (ACM), is proposed to determine which scale of representation should be used for the segmentation of different objects. Comprehensive experiments show that AF$_2$ has significantly improved the accuracy on three widely used aerial benchmarks, as fast as the mainstream method.

  We propose a multi-resolution training framework for open-vocabulary semantic segmentation with a single pretrained CLIP backbone. MROVSeg uses sliding windows to slice the high-resolution input into uniform patches, each matching the input size of the well-trained image encoder. We demonstrate the superiority of MROVSeg on well-established open-vocabulary semantic segmentation benchmarks.

  In this paper, we propose a novel Semantic and Spatial Adaptive (SSA-Seg) to address the challenges of semantic segmentation. Specifically, we employ the coarse masks obtained from the fixed prototypes as a guide to adjust the fixed prototype towards the center of the semantic and spatial domains in the test image. Results show that the proposed SSA-Seg significantly improves the segmentation performance of the baseline models with only a minimal increase in computational cost.

  semantic scene segmentation has received a great deal of attention due to the richness of the semantic information it contains. Current approaches are mainly based on convolutional neural networks (CNN), but they rely on a large number of labels. We propose a domain adaptation (DA) framework based on optimal transport (OT) and attention mechanism to address this issue.
