• Title: Interclass Prototype Relation for Few-Shot Segmentation
• Authors: Atsuro Okazawa
• Abstract summary: With few-shot segmentation, the target class data distribution in the feature space is sparse and has low coverage because of the slight variations in the sample data. This study proposes the Interclass Prototype Relation Network (IPRNet) which improves the separation performance by reducing the similarity between other classes.

• Abstract: Traditional semantic segmentation requires a large labeled image dataset and can only be predicted within predefined classes. To solve this problem, few-shot segmentation, which requires only a handful of annotations for the new target class, is important. However, with few-shot segmentation, the target class data distribution in the feature space is sparse and has low coverage because of the slight variations in the sample data. Setting the classification boundary that properly separates the target class from other classes is an impossible task. In particular, it is difficult to classify classes that are similar to the target class near the boundary. This study proposes the Interclass Prototype Relation Network (IPRNet), which improves the separation performance by reducing the similarity between other classes. We conducted extensive experiments with Pascal-5i and COCO-20i and showed that IPRNet provides the best segmentation performance compared with previous research.

  One feasible way to reduce the cost is to annotate with coarse-grained superclass labels while using limited fine-grained annotations as a complement. There is a lack of research on efficient learning of fine-grained subclasses in semantic segmentation tasks. Our approach achieves comparable accuracy to a model trained with full subclass annotations, with limited subclass annotations and sufficient superclass annotations.

  Few-shot semantic segmentation aims to segment novel-class objects in a given query image with only a few labeled support images. Most advanced solutions exploit a metric learning framework that performs segmentation through matching each query feature to a learned class-specific prototype. We present an adaptive prototype representation by introducing class-specific and class-agnostic prototypes.

  We propose a dual prototypical contrastive learning approach tailored to the few-shot semantic segmentation (FSS) task. The main idea is to encourage the prototypes more discriminative by increasing inter-class distance while reducing intra-class distance in prototype feature space. We demonstrate that the proposed dual contrastive learning approach outperforms state-of-the-art FSS methods on PASCAL-5i and COCO-20i datasets.

  We propose a unified framework, termed as Multi-Dataset Pretraining, to take full advantage of the fragmented annotations of different datasets. This is achieved by first pretraining the network via the proposed pixel-to-prototype contrastive loss over multiple datasets. In order to better model the relationship among images and classes from different datasets, we extend the pixel level embeddings via cross dataset mixing.
