• Abstract summary: We propose a novel approach to densely ground visual entities from a long caption. We leverage a large multimodal model to extract semantic nouns, a class-a segmentation model to generate entity-level segmentation, and a multi-modal feature fusion module to associate each semantic noun with its corresponding segmentation mask.

• Abstract: In this work, we propose a novel approach to densely ground visual entities from a long caption. We leverage a large multimodal model (LMM) to extract semantic nouns, a class-agnostic segmentation model to generate entity-level segmentation, and the proposed multi-modal feature fusion module to associate each semantic noun with its corresponding segmentation mask. Additionally, we introduce a strategy of encoding entity segmentation masks into a colormap, enabling the preservation of fine-grained predictions from features of high-resolution masks. This approach allows us to extract visual features from low-resolution images using the CLIP vision encoder in the LMM, which is more computationally efficient than existing approaches that use an additional encoder for high-resolution images. Our comprehensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of our method, outperforming state-of-the-art techniques on three tasks, including panoptic narrative grounding, referring expression segmentation, and panoptic segmentation.

  We present an SAM2Refiner framework built upon the SAM2 backbone. This architecture allows SAM2 to generate fine-grained segmentation masks for both images and videos. In addition, a mask refinement module is devised by employing a multi-scale cascaded structure to fuse mask features with hierarchical representations from the encoder.

  Existing open-vocabulary approaches leverage vision-language models, such as CLIP, to align visual features with rich semantic features acquired through pre-training on large-scale vision-language datasets. We propose to alleviate the issues by leveraging multiple large-scale models to enhance the alignment between fine-grained visual features and enriched linguistic features. Our method achieves state-of-the-art performance across all major open-vocabulary segmentation benchmarks.

  Dichotomous Image (DIS) has recently emerged towards high-precision object segmentation from high-resolution natural images. Existing methods rely on tedious multiple encoder-decoder streams and stages to gradually complete the global localization and local refinement. Inspired by it, we model DIS as a multi-view object perception problem and provide a parsimonious multi-view aggregation network (MVANet) Experiments on the popular DIS-5K dataset show that our MVANet significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods in both accuracy and speed.
