Introduction

• Two-stage approach
  • Method
    1. Generate class-agnostic mask proposal.
    2. Leverage pre-trained CLIP to perform open-vocabulary classification.
  • Assumption
    1. The model can generate classagnostic mask proposals.
    2. Pre-trained CLIP can transfer its classification performance to masked image proposals.
  • Examination
    1. Using ground-truth masks as region proposal.
    2. Feed masked images to a pre-trained CLIP for classification.
    3. Get mIoU of 20.1% on the ADE20K-150 dataset.
    4. Use MaskFormer(a mask proposal generator trained on COCO) as an region proposal generator.
    5. Select the region proposals with highest overlap with ground-truth masks.
    6. Assign the object label to this region.
    7. This model reach mIoU of 66.5%(despite)

Vocabularies

1. ground-truth masks: refer to the manually annotated masks or pixel-level labels that are used to define the correct segmentation of objects in an image. Each pixel in the ground-truth mask is assigned a specific class label corresponding to the object or region it belongs to.
