Leveraging existing sparse point annotations for benthic imagery dense segmentation

arXiv:2608. 17561v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The health of marine ecosystems is a critical indicator of global environmental change, yet the physical constraints of underwater observation and the intrinsic challenges of processing marine imagery severely limit the scalability of systematic monitoring.

GrabVG: Graph-Attentive Binding for Visual Grounding in UAV Imagery

GrabVG is a visual grounding framework for UAV imagery that tackles the challenges of small, densely packed, and visually similar objects. It splits the task into preattentive hypothesis search and graph‑attentive feature binding, using distillation‑guided proposals and a sparse graph to capture intra‑ and inter‑instance relationships. Experiments on AerialVG and AerialSense show that GrabVG achieves higher accuracy and speed, outperforming baselines by significant margins.
