• Abstract: Fine-grained semantic segmentation requires both precise localization and discrimination between visually similar classes. In FungiTastic, this problem is further complicated by a long-tailed distribution and strong variation in image acquisition conditions. We propose a training-free two-stage framework that decouples segmentation from classification. SAM3 first produces class-agnostic mushroom masks using macro-taxonomic prompts, and DINOv3 then assigns fine-grained labels through prototype matching in the embedding space. To improve this stage, we apply a simple transformation of the DINOv3 feature space that improves prototype-based classification. Compared with class-specific prompting, our approach is more scalable and keeps the segmentation cost low. We report results from one-shot to few-hundred-shot regimes, providing, to the best of our knowledge, the first baseline for fine-grained semantic segmentation in low-data settings.

  In this paper, we propose a novel Semantic and Spatial Adaptive (SSA-Seg) to address the challenges of semantic segmentation. Specifically, we employ the coarse masks obtained from the fixed prototypes as a guide to adjust the fixed prototype towards the center of the semantic and spatial domains in the test image. Results show that the proposed SSA-Seg significantly improves the segmentation performance of the baseline models with only a minimal increase in computational cost.

  Semi-supervised learning (SSL) has been an active research topic for large-scale 3D scene understanding. The existing SSL-based methods suffer from severe training bias due to class imbalance and long-tail distributions of the point cloud data. We introduce a new decoupling optimization framework, which disentangles feature representation learning and classifier in an alternative optimization manner to shift the bias decision boundary effectively.

We build a cross-attention module that guides the classifier's final prediction using the fused multi-level features. Our PCN outperforms the state-the-art alternatives by large margins.

• Self-Supervised Tuning for Few-Shot Segmentation [82.32143982269892]
  Few-shot segmentation aims at assigning a category label to each image pixel with few annotated samples. Existing meta-learning method tends to fail in generating category-specifically discriminative descriptor when the visual features extracted from support images are marginalized in embedding space. This paper presents an adaptive framework tuning, in which the distribution of latent features across different episodes is dynamically adjusted based on a self-segmentation scheme.
