• Abstract: Zero-shot instance segmentation aims to detect and precisely segment objects of unseen categories without any training samples. Since the model is trained on seen categories, there is a strong bias that the model tends to classify all the objects into seen categories. Besides, there is a natural confusion between background and novel objects that have never shown up in training. These two challenges make novel objects hard to be raised in the final instance segmentation results. It is desired to rescue novel objects from background and dominated seen categories. To this end, we propose D$^2$Zero with Semantic-Promoted Debiasing and Background Disambiguation to enhance the performance of Zero-shot instance segmentation. Semantic-promoted debiasing utilizes inter-class semantic relationships to involve unseen categories in visual feature training and learns an input-conditional classifier to conduct dynamical classification based on the input image. Background disambiguation produces image-adaptive background representation to avoid mistaking novel objects for background. Extensive experiments show that we significantly outperform previous state-of-the-art methods by a large margin, e.g., 16.86% improvement on COCO. Project page: https://henghuiding.github.io/D2Zero/

Experiments on both PASCAL-$5textiti$ and COCO-$20textiti$ datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.

• Class Enhancement Losses with Pseudo Labels for Zero-shot Semantic Segmentation [40.09476732999614]
  Mask proposal models have significantly improved the performance of zero-shot semantic segmentation. The use of a background' embedding during training in these methods is problematic as the resulting model tends to over-learn and assign all unseen classes as the background class instead of their correct labels. This paper proposes novel class enhancement losses to bypass the use of the background embbedding during training, and simultaneously exploit the semantic relationship between text embeddings and mask proposals by ranking the similarity scores.

  We propose a simple yet surprisingly powerful data augmentation and training scheme we call Learning to Detect Every Thing (LDET) To avoid suppressing hidden objects, background objects that are visible but unlabeled, we paste annotated objects on a background image sampled from a small region of the original image. LDET leads to significant improvements on many datasets in the open world instance segmentation task.

  Recent gains in performance come from training instance classification models, treating each image and it's augmented versions as samples of a single class. We demonstrate that approaches like MOCO and PIRL learn occlusion-invariant representations. Second, we demonstrate that these approaches obtain further gains from access to a clean object-centric training dataset like Imagenet.
