• Authors: Khoi Nguyen, Sinisa Todorovic
• Abstract summary: We make two contributions by extending the common Mask-RCNN framework in its second stage. We specify a new object class classifier based on the probit function and a new uncertainty-guided bounding-box predictor. Our contributions produce significant performance gains on the COCO dataset over the state of the art.

• Abstract: This paper addresses incremental few-shot instance segmentation, where a few examples of new object classes arrive when access to training examples of old classes is not available anymore, and the goal is to perform well on both old and new classes. We make two contributions by extending the common Mask-RCNN framework in its second stage -- namely, we specify a new object class classifier based on the probit function and a new uncertainty-guided bounding-box predictor. The former leverages Bayesian learning to address a paucity of training examples of new classes. The latter learns not only to predict object bounding boxes but also to estimate the uncertainty of the prediction as guidance for bounding box refinement. We also specify two new loss functions in terms of the estimated object-class distribution and bounding-box uncertainty. Our contributions produce significant performance gains on the COCO dataset over the state of the art -- specifically, the gain of +6 on the new classes and +16 on the old classes in the AP instance segmentation metric. Furthermore, we are the first to evaluate the incremental few-shot setting on the more challenging LVIS dataset.

  Few-shot Class Incremental Learning (FSCIL) requires the model to continually learn new classes with limited labeled data. Due to the limited data in incremental sessions, models are prone to overfitting new classes and suffering catastrophic forgetting of base classes. Recent advancements resort to prototype-based approaches to constrain the base class distribution and learn discriminative representations of new classes.

  Weakly Incremental Learning for Semantic (WILSS) leverages a pre-trained segmentation model to segment new classes using cost-effective and readily available image-level labels. A prevailing way to solve WILSS is the generation of seed areas for each new class, serving as a form of pixel-level supervision. We propose an innovative, tendency-driven relationship of mutual exclusivity, meticulously tailored to govern the behavior of the seed areas.

  We propose a visual-language model such as CLIP to generate text feature embeddings for different class sets. We then employ super-classes to replace the unavailable novel classes in the early learning stage to simulate the incremental scenario. We incorporate the finely recognized detection boxes as pseudo-annotations into the training process, thereby further improving the detection performance.

  Open-world instance segmentation (OWIS) models detect unknown objects in a class-agnostic manner. Previous OWIS approaches completely erase category information during training to keep the model's ability to generalize to unknown objects. We propose a novel training mechanism termed SegPrompt that uses category information to improve the model's class-agnostic segmentation ability.
