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.
The paper introduces a dual‑backbone architecture for glass segmentation that combines a frozen foundation model with a learned backbone trained on glass‑specific data. By fusing hierarchical multi‑scale features from both backbones, the method produces accurate segmentation masks and achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on four benchmark datasets. Ablation studies confirm the benefits of the dual‑backbone design and its generalizability across different backbone choices, while also offering competitive inference speeds, especially with lighter backbones.
