• Title: COMNet: Co-Occurrent Matching for Weakly Supervised Semantic Segmentation
• Authors: Yukun Su, Jingliang Deng, Zonghan Li
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel Co-Occurrent Matching Network (COMNet), which can promote the quality of the CAMs and enforce the network to pay attention to the entire parts of objects. Specifically, we perform inter-matching on paired images that contain common classes to enhance the corresponded areas, and construct intra-matching on a single image to propagate the semantic features across the object regions. The experiments on the Pascal VOC 2012 and MS-COCO datasets show that our network can effectively boost the performance of the baseline model and achieve new state-of-the-art performance.

• Abstract: Image-level weakly supervised semantic segmentation is a challenging task that has been deeply studied in recent years. Most of the common solutions exploit class activation map (CAM) to locate object regions. However, such response maps generated by the classification network usually focus on discriminative object parts. In this paper, we propose a novel Co-Occurrent Matching Network (COMNet), which can promote the quality of the CAMs and enforce the network to pay attention to the entire parts of objects. Specifically, we perform inter-matching on paired images that contain common classes to enhance the corresponded areas, and construct intra-matching on a single image to propagate the semantic features across the object regions. The experiments on the Pascal VOC 2012 and MS-COCO datasets show that our network can effectively boost the performance of the baseline model and achieve new state-of-the-art performance.

  Few-shot segmentation aims to learn a segmentation model that can be generalized to novel classes with only a few training images. We propose a Cross-Reference and Local-Global Networks (CRCNet) for few-shot segmentation. Our network can better find the co-occurrent objects in the two images with a cross-reference mechanism.

  We propose Contrastive learning for Class-agnostic Activation Map (C$2$AM) generation using unlabeled image data. We form the positive and negative pairs based on the above relations and force the network to disentangle foreground and background. As the network is guided to discriminate cross-image foreground-background, the class-agnostic activation maps learned by our approach generate more complete object regions.
