• Abstract summary: We propose an approach to segment arbitrary unknown objects in images by generalizing from a limited set of annotated object classes during training. Our approach shows strong generalization capabilities on COCO, LVIS, and ADE20k datasets and improves on the precision by up to 81.6% compared to the state-of-the-art.

• Abstract: We propose an approach for Open-World Instance Segmentation (OWIS), a task that aims to segment arbitrary unknown objects in images by generalizing from a limited set of annotated object classes during training. Our Segment Object System (SOS) explicitly addresses the generalization ability and the low precision of state-of-the-art systems, which often generate background detections. To this end, we generate high-quality pseudo annotations based on the foundation model SAM. We thoroughly study various object priors to generate prompts for SAM, explicitly focusing the foundation model on objects. The strongest object priors were obtained by self-attention maps from self-supervised Vision Transformers, which we utilize for prompting SAM. Finally, the post-processed segments from SAM are used as pseudo annotations to train a standard instance segmentation system. Our approach shows strong generalization capabilities on COCO, LVIS, and ADE20k datasets and improves on the precision by up to 81.6% compared to the state-of-the-art.

  Existing perception models achieve great success by learning from large amounts of labeled data, but they still struggle with open-world scenarios. We present textiti.e., open-ended object detection, which discovers unseen objects without any object categories as inputs. We show that our method surpasses the previous open-ended method on the object detection task and can provide additional instance segmentation masks.

  Unseen Object Instance (UOIS) is crucial for autonomous robots operating in unstructured environments. We propose UOIS-SAM, a data-efficient solution for the UOIS task. UOIS-SAM integrates two key components: (i) a Heatmap-based Prompt Generator (HPG) to generate class-agnostic point prompts with precise foreground prediction, and (ii) a Hierarchical Discrimination Network (HDNet) that adapts SAM's mask decoder.

  We propose Weakly-supervised Part (WPS) setting and an approach called WPS-SAM. WPS-SAM is an end-to-end framework designed to extract prompt tokens directly from images and perform pixel-level segmentation of part regions. Experiments demonstrate that, through exploiting the rich knowledge embedded in pre-trained foundation models, WPS-SAM outperforms other segmentation models trained with pixel-level strong annotations.

  We investigate two models for combining SAM with optical flow that harness the segmentation power of SAM with the ability of flow to discover and group moving objects. In the first model, we adapt SAM to take optical flow, rather than RGB, as an input. In the second, SAM takes RGB as an input, and flow is used as a segmentation prompt. These surprisingly simple methods, without any further modifications, outperform all previous approaches by a considerable margin in both single and multi-object benchmarks.
