MARS-CLIP: Multi-Resolution and Attention Refined Zero-Shot Image Segmentation

MARS-CLIP is a zero‑shot semantic segmentation framework that builds on CLIP by adding a multi‑resolution feature extraction module and an attention refinement mechanism. The multi‑resolution module fuses fine‑grained local features with global context to mitigate low spatial resolution, while the attention refinement injects spatial and color biases from intermediate layers into the final self‑attention block to better recover object boundaries. Experiments on six public datasets show that MARS‑CLIP outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods.

GazeRefine: Expert Gaze as a Test-Time Prompt for Training-Free Medical Image Segmentation

GazeRefine is a training‑free framework that uses eye‑gaze data as an inference‑time prompt for zero‑shot medical image segmentation. It converts sparse, duration‑weighted fixations into foreground and background priors that initialize semantic prototypes in a frozen DINOv3 feature space, then iteratively refines these prototypes through discrimination, affinity propagation, and anchoring to the gaze guidance. The method achieves strong results on colonoscopy polyp segmentation and competitive performance on prostate MRI, demonstrating that gaze‑guided prototype refinement can enable segmentation without dense expert annotations or model fine‑tuning.

Scene-Centric Unsupervised Video Panoptic Segmentation

Video panoptic segmentation (VPS) aims to jointly detect, segment, and track all objects while partitioning the video into semantically consistent regions. We introduce the task setting of unsupervised VPS, omitting any human supervision.

Seeing as Humans Do: Learning from Motion to Segment Anything Without Supervision

arXiv:2609.39785v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Segment Anything Model (SAM) relies heavily on massive manual annotations, creating a fundamental bottleneck for model scaling. While unsupervised...
