• Abstract: State-of-the-art techniques in weakly-supervised semantic segmentation (WSSS) using image-level labels exhibit severe performance degradation on driving scene datasets such as Cityscapes. To address this challenge, we develop a new WSSS framework tailored to driving scene datasets. Based on extensive analysis of dataset characteristics, we employ Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) as our baseline to obtain pseudo-masks. However, CLIP introduces two key challenges: (1) pseudo-masks from CLIP lack in representing small object classes, and (2) these masks contain notable noise. We propose solutions for each issue as follows. (1) We devise Global-Local View Training that seamlessly incorporates small-scale patches during model training, thereby enhancing the model's capability to handle small-sized yet critical objects in driving scenes (e.g., traffic light). (2) We introduce Consistency-Aware Region Balancing (CARB), a novel technique that discerns reliable and noisy regions through evaluating the consistency between CLIP masks and segmentation predictions. It prioritizes reliable pixels over noisy pixels via adaptive loss weighting. Notably, the proposed method achieves 51.8\% mIoU on the Cityscapes test dataset, showcasing its potential as a strong WSSS baseline on driving scene datasets. Experimental results on CamVid and WildDash2 demonstrate the effectiveness of our method across diverse datasets, even with small-scale datasets or visually challenging conditions. The code is available at https://github.com/k0u-id/CARB.

  We present EV-WSSS: a novel weakly supervised approach for event-based semantic segmentation. The proposed framework performs asymmetric dual-student learning between 1) the original forward event data and 2) the longer reversed event data. We show that the proposed method achieves substantial segmentation results even without relying on pixel-level dense ground truths.

  Image-level weakly-supervised segmentation (WSSS) reduces the usually vast data annotation cost by surrogate segmentation masks during training. Our work is based on two techniques for improving CAMs; importance sampling, which is a substitute for GAP, and the feature similarity loss. We reformulate both techniques based on binomial posteriors of multiple independent binary problems. This has two benefits; their performance is improved and they become more general, resulting in an add-on method that can boost virtually any WSSS method.

  We propose to pretrain networks for semantic segmentation by predicting the relative location of image parts. We control the difficulty of the task by masking a subset of the reference patch features visible to those of the query. Our experiments show that this location-aware pretraining leads to representations that transfer competitively to several challenging semantic segmentation benchmarks.

  It is unclear how to make zero-shot recognition working well on broader vision problems, such as object detection and semantic segmentation. In this paper, we target for zero-shot semantic segmentation, by building it on an off-the-shelf pre-trained vision-language model, i.e., CLIP. Our experimental results show that this simple framework surpasses previous state-of-the-arts by a large margin.
