Meta AI has recently released the Segment Anything Model (SAM), which demonstrates exceptional zero-shot image segmentation performance across various tasks with remarkable accuracy. Despite its inability to provide accurate segmentation across multiple research fields, SAM still serves as a valuable starting point for supporting the segmentation pipeline process, particularly for tasks that require extensive and senior skills annotations.
arXiv:2607. 02404v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image encoders trained with LeJEPA can deliver strong features for downstream tasks, but, like other image-level self-supervised methods, typically require large training datasets.
arXiv:2606. 15786v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The advent of large pretrained foundation models for computer vision has significantly improved the efficiency of visual data interpretation.
arXiv:2606. 07965v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Visual Language Models (LVLMs) have achieved remarkable success in vision tasks.
arXiv:2606. 16996v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Segment Anything Model 3 (SAM 3) provides a strong frozen backbone for concept-prompted segmentation, but applying it directly to open-vocabulary semantic segmentation (OVSS) is inefficient: full-resolution decoding is typically run over the entire dataset vocabulary, whereas each image contains only a small active subset of classes.
Foundation models such as Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM2) have transformed natural-image and video segmentation, and recent work has begun adapting them to medical imaging. These adaptations, however, are largely general-purpose models that treat MRI as one modality among many; large-scale, MRI-specific modelling and benchmarking remain limited, even though MRI's low soft-tissue contrast leaves many boundaries effectively invisible on individual slices.
arXiv:2607. 26829v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many high-performing volumetric segmentation models maintain dense multi-scale feature maps, leading to high activation memory and inference cost.
arXiv:2604. 20329v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent works show that image and video generators exhibit zero-shot visual understanding behaviors, in a way reminiscent of how LLMs develop emergent capabilities of language understanding and reasoning from generative pretraining.
Prompt-driven vision-language models (VLMs) hold immense promise for accelerating dense remote sensing (RS) annotation, but static models suffer from severe performance degradation when deployed on novel scenes, unseen categories, or visually confusing backgrounds. Moreover, existing unified paradigms primarily rely on intra-image specific prompts, lacking flexible task routing to adapt to multi-intent operational workflows.
arXiv:2607. 05568v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Representing 3D shapes as compact sets of geometric primitives is fundamental to robotics, simulation, and scene understanding.
The study investigates how few expert-annotated cases are needed to fine‑tune MedSAM3 for abdominal organ segmentation using Low‑Rank Adaptation (LoRA). With only 10 annotated CT or MRI cases, the LoRA‑adapted models achieve performance comparable to specialist systems that require orders of magnitude more data, including reliable gallbladder segmentation and near‑state‑of‑the‑art results for liver, kidneys, and spleen. The approach also generalizes to cardiac segmentation on the Whole Heart dataset, and training takes only 3–5 hours per organ on a single GPU, roughly twice as fast as nnU-Net.
