• Abstract: Referring Image Segmentation is a comprehensive task to segment an object referred by a textual query from an image. In nature, the level of difficulty in this task is affected by the existence of similar objects and the complexity of the referring expression. Recent RIS models still show a significant performance gap between easy and hard scenarios. We pose that the bottleneck exists in the data, and propose a simple but powerful data augmentation method, Negative-mined Mosaic Augmentation (NeMo). This method augments a training image into a mosaic with three other negative images carefully curated by a pretrained multimodal alignment model, e.g., CLIP, to make the sample more challenging. We discover that it is critical to properly adjust the difficulty level, neither too ambiguous nor too trivial. The augmented training data encourages the RIS model to recognize subtle differences and relationships between similar visual entities and to concretely understand the whole expression to locate the right target better. Our approach shows consistent improvements on various datasets and models, verified by extensive experiments.

  An increasing privacy concern exists regarding training large-scale image segmentation models on unauthorized private data. We exploit the concept of unlearnable examples to make images unusable to model training by generating and adding unlearnable noise into the original images. We empirically verify the effectiveness of UnSeg across 6 mainstream image segmentation tasks, 10 widely used datasets, and 7 different network architectures.

  Referring Remote Sensing Image (RRSIS) is a new challenge that combines computer vision and natural language processing.

  This work addresses weakly supervised semantic segmentation (WSSS), with the goal of bridging the gap between image-level annotations and pixel-level segmentation. We formulate WSSS as a novel group-wise learning task that explicitly models semantic dependencies in a group of images to estimate more reliable pseudo ground-truths. In particular, we devise a graph neural network (GNN) for group-wise semantic mining, wherein input images are represented as graph nodes.

  We show that self-consistency can be a powerful source of self-supervision to improve the performance of a data-driven model with access to only a small amount of labeled data. In our proposed active learning framework, we iteratively extract small image patches that need to be labeled. We are able to find the image patches over which the current model struggles the most to classify.
