• Abstract: Concealed object segmentation (COS) is a challenging task that involves localizing and segmenting those concealed objects that are visually blended with their surrounding environments. Despite achieving remarkable success, existing COS segmenters still struggle to achieve complete segmentation results in extremely concealed scenarios. In this paper, we propose a Hierarchical Coherence Modeling (HCM) segmenter for COS, aiming to address this incomplete segmentation limitation. In specific, HCM promotes feature coherence by leveraging the intra-stage coherence and cross-stage coherence modules, exploring feature correlations at both the single-stage and contextual levels. Additionally, we introduce the reversible re-calibration decoder to detect previously undetected parts in low-confidence regions, resulting in further enhancing segmentation performance. Extensive experiments conducted on three COS tasks, including camouflaged object detection, polyp image segmentation, and transparent object detection, demonstrate the promising results achieved by the proposed HCM segmenter.

  A class activation map (CAM) can only locate the most discriminative part of objects. We propose spatial structure constraints (SSC) for weakly supervised semantic segmentation to alleviate the unwanted object over-activation of attention expansion. Our approach achieves 72.7% and 47.0% mIoU on the PASCAL VOC 2012 and COCO datasets, respectively.

  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.

  We first design a framework to enable SegGPT for the problem of co-salient object detection. Proceed to the next step, we evaluate the performance of SegGPT on the problem of co-salient object detection on three available datasets. We achieve a finding that co-saliency scenes challenges SegGPT due to context discrepancy within a group of co-saliency images.

Our design encourages the latent regions to represent semantic concepts by ensuring that the activated regions are spatially disjoint. Our latent tokens are semantically interpretable and diverse and provide a rich set of features that can be transferred to downstream tasks.

  We take inspiration from traditional spectral segmentation methods by reframing image decomposition as a graph partitioning problem. We find that these eigenvectors already decompose an image into meaningful segments, and can be readily used to localize objects in a scene. By clustering the features associated with these segments across a dataset, we can obtain well-delineated, nameable regions.
