FoRIS: Progressive Foreground Refinement for Training-Free In-Context Segmentation

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

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.

Text-to-seed generation: Training-free open-vocabulary seeded semantic segmentation via re-purposing diffusion as text-guided seed generator

The paper introduces Text-to-Seed (T2S), a training‑free framework for open‑vocabulary semantic segmentation that repurposes Stable Diffusion to generate attention‑based seed points from text queries. These sparse seeds serve as point prompts for the Segment Anything Model (SAM), enabling reliable region expansion without relying on inaccurate coarse masks. T2S achieves strong performance on standard OVSS benchmarks using only the text‑to‑region correspondence of diffusion models and no task‑specific training or extra annotations.
