Personalized segmentation and personalized retrieval both aim to identify the same physical object across different images. While the former localizes the object within a target image, the latter retr...
UnSAMv2 is a self‑supervised extension of the Segment Anything Model that can segment objects at any granularity without human annotations. It discovers mask‑granularity pairs and introduces a granularity control embedding for continuous scale adjustment, requiring only 6K unlabeled images and 0.02% extra parameters. The model outperforms SAM/SAM‑2 across 11+ benchmarks, improving metrics such as 1‑IoU from 58.0 to 73.1 and achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on language‑guided segmentation.

SAM‑V is a geometry‑aware extension of the Segment Anything Model (SAM) that integrates 3D priors from a feed‑forward geometry model (VGGT) into 2D segmentation. It uses a prompt‑fusion mechanism to combine sparse SAM prompts with view‑specific camera tokens and local VGGT features, enabling a mask decoder that attends to both dense 2D and 3D cues. The resulting end‑to‑end system produces consistent multi‑view instance segmentation in a single forward pass, achieving significant gains on the IGGT 3D tracking benchmark without offline mask matching or explicit 3D reconstruction.

FoRIS is a training‑free in‑context segmentation framework that refines foreground masks through a coarse‑to‑fine process. It operates in three stages—Foreground Purification, Localization, and Consolidation—to suppress background noise, pinpoint target regions, and reconstruct complete foreground structures. The method achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance, improving mIoU by 4.5 and 4.8 points in 1‑shot and 5‑shot settings respectively.

Dual-State Slot Attention (DSSA) is a self‑supervised framework that separates per‑frame appearance from temporally stable identity within each slot, addressing conflicts that cause slot swapping in video object‑centric learning. It introduces a learned recurrent transition for identity updates and competition‑modulated aggregation to suppress weakly matching slots, thereby improving segmentation quality and temporal consistency. Experiments on MOVi‑C, MOVi‑D, and YouTube‑VIS show DSSA outperforms prior methods and enhances downstream object recognition and video dynamics prediction.

SOCO is a new benchmark for Semantic Object Correspondence that introduces a taxonomy of correspondence types and provides consistent, functionally meaningful keypoint annotations across 100 categories and over 1M correspondence pairs. It also includes keypoint language descriptions, enabling evaluation of large vision‑language models and their fine‑grained part‑level understanding. Experiments show that vision foundation backbones encode strong semantic structure but transfer correspondences poorly across related categories, LVLMs excel at text‑prompted part localization but lag in visual‑reference matching, and correspondence performance predicts dense downstream tasks more strongly than ImageNet classification.
