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.
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.

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.
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.
arXiv:2607. 28967v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prompt tuning adapts vision--language models with few trainable parameters, but existing approaches trade off efficiency and adaptation: static textual prompts can overfit source classes, image-conditioned prompts add per-instance computation, and multimodal tuning modifies the visual branch.
