Existing open-vocabulary image segmentation methods require a fine-tuning step on mask annotations and/or image-text datasets. Mask labels are labor-intensive
... , without fine-tuning, VLMs trained under weak image-text supervision tend to make suboptimal mask predictions when there are text queries referring to non-existing concepts in the image.
... introduce a novel recurrent framework that progressively filters out irrelevant texts and enhances mask quality without training efforts.
The recurrent unit is a two-stage segmenter built upon a VLM with frozen weights.
... model retains the VLM's broad vocabulary space and strengthens its segmentation capability.
... method outperforms not only the training-free counterparts, but also those fine-tuned with millions of additional data samples, and sets new state-of-the-art records for both zero-shot semantic and referring image segmentation tasks ...
