Cross-domain Few-shot Segmentation (CD-FSS) aims to transfer knowledge learned from source domain to distinct target domains, segmenting unseen target classes with only a few annotated samples. Although existing methods have made significant progress, they still rely on training or fine-tuning processes, which incur high computational costs and risk overfitting.

The paper introduces UINO-FSS, a unified framework for few-shot semantic segmentation that merges knowledge from DINOv2 and SAM into a single-encoder architecture. It employs coarse-to-fine multimodal distillation, a bottleneck adapter for embedding alignment, a meta-visual prompt generator, and a mask decoder, enhanced by Mamba-based 4D correlation mining. Experiments on PASCAL-5i and COCO-20i demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art performance in 1‑shot settings, achieving 80.6% mIoU on PASCAL-5i and 64.5% on COCO-20i.

The paper proposes treating few-shot classification as a series of multiple instance verification (MIV) tasks, enabling effective transfer across domains without fine-tuning the backbone. It introduces the MIV-head, a backbone‑agnostic, computationally efficient classification head that achieves competitive accuracy on cross‑domain few‑shot image classification using frozen, pre‑trained backbones. Experiments on an extended Meta‑Dataset benchmark show that the MIV-head outperforms state‑of‑the‑art adapter methods while incurring lower adaptation cost.

SetCon reformulates open-ended referring segmentation as set-level concept prediction, using LVLM-generated natural-language concepts instead of segmentation-specific tokens. It employs a hierarchical semantic decomposition that first predicts a shared set-level concept and then refines it into fine-grained concept groups aligned with target subsets. The method, supported by a two-stage annotation pipeline adding hierarchical semantic supervision, achieves state-of-the-art results on multiple image and video benchmarks, with performance gains increasing as the number of referred targets grows.

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.
