在本文中，我们将针对基于文本的描述的任意类别执行全新的计算机视觉任务，开放式全磁全面分割，该任务旨在执行全景分段（背景语义标签 +前景实例分段）。我们首先构建了一种基线方法，而无需填充或蒸馏以利用现有夹模型中的知识。然后，我们开发了一种新方法MaskClip，该方法是一种基于变压器的方法，该方法使用带有基于VIT的夹子主链的掩码查询来执行语义分割和对象实例分割。在这里，我们设计了一个相对的掩码注意力（RMA）模块，以将分割作为VIT夹模型的其他令牌。 MaskClip通过避免使用外部剪贴图像模型的暂停操作来裁剪图像贴片和计算功能，从而有效地有效地利用预训练的密集/局部剪辑功能。我们为开放式综合综合分割和最先进的结果获得了令人鼓舞的结果。我们显示具有自定义类别的MaskClip的定性插图。

最近，Vision-Language预训练的零拍图像分类已经表现出令人难以置信的成就，即该模型可以对任意类别进行分类而不看到该类别的其他注释图像。然而，目前尚不清楚如何在更广泛的视觉问题上进行零射识别，例如对象检测和语义分割。在本文中，我们通过在现成的预训练的视觉模型，即剪辑上建立零拍语义分割来定位零拍语义分割。很难因为语义分割和剪辑模型在不同的视觉粒度上执行，该语义分段处理在像素上时，而剪辑在图像上执行。为了解决处理粒度的差异，我们拒绝使用普遍的一级FCN基于FCN的框架，并倡导一个两级语义分割框架，其中第一阶段提取一个完全提取的掩模提案和第二阶段利用基于图像的剪辑模型在第一阶段生成的蒙版图像作物上执行零拍分类。我们的实验结果表明，这种简单的框架通过大型利润率超越了先前的最先进：+29.5 Hiou On Pascal VOC 2012 DataSet，+8.9 Hiou On Coco Stuff DataSet。凭借其简单性和强大的表现，我们希望本框架成为促进未来研究的基准。

In this work, we focus on instance-level open vocabulary segmentation, intending to expand a segmenter for instance-wise novel categories without mask annotations. We investigate a simple yet effective framework with the help of image captions, focusing on exploiting thousands of object nouns in captions to discover instances of novel classes. Rather than adopting pretrained caption models or using massive caption datasets with complex pipelines, we propose an end-to-end solution from two aspects: caption grounding and caption generation. In particular, we devise a joint Caption Grounding and Generation (CGG) framework based on a Mask Transformer baseline. The framework has a novel grounding loss that performs explicit and implicit multi-modal feature alignments. We further design a lightweight caption generation head to allow for additional caption supervision. We find that grounding and generation complement each other, significantly enhancing the segmentation performance for novel categories. We conduct extensive experiments on the COCO dataset with two settings: Open Vocabulary Instance Segmentation (OVIS) and Open Set Panoptic Segmentation (OSPS). The results demonstrate the superiority of our CGG framework over previous OVIS methods, achieving a large improvement of 6.8% mAP on novel classes without extra caption data. Our method also achieves over 15% PQ improvements for novel classes on the OSPS benchmark under various settings.

Open-vocabulary object detection, which is concerned with the problem of detecting novel objects guided by natural language, has gained increasing attention from the community. Ideally, we would like to extend an open-vocabulary detector such that it can produce bounding box predictions based on user inputs in form of either natural language or exemplar image. This offers great flexibility and user experience for human-computer interaction. To this end, we propose a novel open-vocabulary detector based on DETR -- hence the name OV-DETR -- which, once trained, can detect any object given its class name or an exemplar image. The biggest challenge of turning DETR into an open-vocabulary detector is that it is impossible to calculate the classification cost matrix of novel classes without access to their labeled images. To overcome this challenge, we formulate the learning objective as a binary matching one between input queries (class name or exemplar image) and the corresponding objects, which learns useful correspondence to generalize to unseen queries during testing. For training, we choose to condition the Transformer decoder on the input embeddings obtained from a pre-trained vision-language model like CLIP, in order to enable matching for both text and image queries. With extensive experiments on LVIS and COCO datasets, we demonstrate that our OV-DETR -- the first end-to-end Transformer-based open-vocabulary detector -- achieves non-trivial improvements over current state of the arts.

Panoptic Part Segmentation (PPS) unifies panoptic segmentation and part segmentation into one task. Previous works utilize separated approaches to handle thing, stuff, and part predictions without shared computation and task association. We aim to unify these tasks at the architectural level, designing the first end-to-end unified framework named Panoptic-PartFormer. Moreover, we find the previous metric PartPQ biases to PQ. To handle both issues, we make the following contributions: Firstly, we design a meta-architecture that decouples part feature and things/stuff feature, respectively. We model things, stuff, and parts as object queries and directly learn to optimize all three forms of prediction as a unified mask prediction and classification problem. We term our model as Panoptic-PartFormer. Secondly, we propose a new metric Part-Whole Quality (PWQ) to better measure such task from both pixel-region and part-whole perspectives. It can also decouple the error for part segmentation and panoptic segmentation. Thirdly, inspired by Mask2Former, based on our meta-architecture, we propose Panoptic-PartFormer++ and design a new part-whole cross attention scheme to further boost part segmentation qualities. We design a new part-whole interaction method using masked cross attention. Finally, the extensive ablation studies and analysis demonstrate the effectiveness of both Panoptic-PartFormer and Panoptic-PartFormer++. Compared with previous Panoptic-PartFormer, our Panoptic-PartFormer++ achieves 2% PartPQ and 3% PWQ improvements on the Cityscapes PPS dataset and 5% PartPQ on the Pascal Context PPS dataset. On both datasets, Panoptic-PartFormer++ achieves new state-of-the-art results with a significant cost drop of 70% on GFlops and 50% on parameters. Our models can serve as a strong baseline and aid future research in PPS. Code will be available.

我们设计了一个开放式图像分割模型，以将图像组织到任意文本指示的有意义区域中。最近的作品（剪辑和对齐），尽管使用图像级字幕标签获得了令人印象深刻的开放式摄氏分类精度，但仍无法用像素分段视觉概念。我们认为这些模型错过了视觉分组的重要步骤，该模型在学习视觉语义对齐之前将像素组织成小组。我们建议OpenSeg解决上述问题，同时仍利用可扩展的图像级标题监督。首先，它学会了为可能的组织提出细分面具。然后，它通过将标题中的每个单词与一个或几个预测的面具对齐来学习视觉语义对齐。我们发现蒙版表示是支持字幕学习图像分割的关键，从而可以扩大数据集和词汇大小。 OpenSeg大大优于pascal数据集上LSEG最近的开放式LSEG +19.9 MIOU的开放式方法。

Recently, CLIP has been applied to pixel-level zero-shot learning tasks via a two-stage scheme. The general idea is to first generate class-agnostic region proposals and then feed the cropped proposal regions to CLIP to utilize its image-level zero-shot classification capability. While effective, such a scheme requires two image encoders, one for proposal generation and one for CLIP, leading to a complicated pipeline and high computational cost. In this work, we pursue a simpler-and-efficient one-stage solution that directly extends CLIP's zero-shot prediction capability from image to pixel level. Our investigation starts with a straightforward extension as our baseline that generates semantic masks by comparing the similarity between text and patch embeddings extracted from CLIP. However, such a paradigm could heavily overfit the seen classes and fail to generalize to unseen classes. To handle this issue, we propose three simple-but-effective designs and figure out that they can significantly retain the inherent zero-shot capacity of CLIP and improve pixel-level generalization ability. Incorporating those modifications leads to an efficient zero-shot semantic segmentation system called ZegCLIP. Through extensive experiments on three public benchmarks, ZegCLIP demonstrates superior performance, outperforming the state-of-the-art methods by a large margin under both "inductive" and "transductive" zero-shot settings. In addition, compared with the two-stage method, our one-stage ZegCLIP achieves a speedup of about 5 times faster during inference. We release the code at https://github.com/ZiqinZhou66/ZegCLIP.git.

全景部分分割（PPS）旨在将泛型分割和部分分割统一为一个任务。先前的工作主要利用分离的方法来处理事物，物品和部分预测，而无需执行任何共享的计算和任务关联。在这项工作中，我们旨在将这些任务统一在架构层面上，设计第一个名为Panoptic-Partformer的端到端统一方法。特别是，由于视觉变压器的最新进展，我们将事物，内容和部分建模为对象查询，并直接学会优化所有三个预测作为统一掩码的预测和分类问题。我们设计了一个脱钩的解码器，以分别生成零件功能和事物/东西功能。然后，我们建议利用所有查询和相应的特征共同执行推理。最终掩码可以通过查询和相应特征之间的内部产品获得。广泛的消融研究和分析证明了我们框架的有效性。我们的全景局势群体在CityScapes PPS和Pascal Context PPS数据集上实现了新的最新结果，至少有70％的GFLOPS和50％的参数降低。特别是，在Pascal上下文PPS数据集上采用SWIN Transformer后，我们可以通过RESNET50骨干链和10％的改进获得3.4％的相对改进。据我们所知，我们是第一个通过\ textit {统一和端到端变压器模型来解决PPS问题的人。鉴于其有效性和概念上的简单性，我们希望我们的全景贡献者能够充当良好的基准，并帮助未来的PPS统一研究。我们的代码和型号可在https://github.com/lxtgh/panoptic-partformer上找到。

图像分割是关于使用不同语义的分组像素，例如类别或实例成员身份，其中每个语义选择定义任务。虽然只有每个任务的语义不同，但目前的研究侧重于为每项任务设计专业架构。我们提出了蒙面关注掩模变压器（Mask2Former），这是一种能够寻址任何图像分段任务（Panoptic，实例或语义）的新架构。其关键部件包括屏蔽注意，通过限制预测掩模区域内的横向提取局部特征。除了将研究工作减少三次之外，它还优于四个流行的数据集中的最佳专业架构。最值得注意的是，Mask2Former为Panoptic semonation（Coco 57.8 PQ）设置了新的最先进的，实例分段（Coco上50.1 AP）和语义分割（ADE20K上的57.7 miou）。

对比语言 - 图像预训练（剪辑）在开放词汇零拍摄图像识别方面取得了显着突破。许多最近的研究利用预先训练的剪辑模型进行图像级分类和操纵。在本文中，我们进一步探索了剪辑的电位，用于像素级致密预测，具体地在语义分割中。在没有注释和微调的情况下，我们的方法Denseclip会产生合理的分段结果，在各种数据集中的开放概念上产生了合理的分段结果。通过添加伪标签和自我培训，Denseclip +超越了SOTA转换零点语义分割方法，通过大幅边缘，例如，Pascal VOC / Pascal Context / Coco Sift的宣传课程从35.6 / 20.7 / 30.3到86.1 / 66.7 / 54.7。我们还在输入损坏下测试了Denseclip的稳健性，并评估其在识别细粒度物体和新颖概念中的能力。我们的发现表明，Denseclip可以作为致密预测任务的新可靠的监督源，以实现无批准的分割。

现代方法通常将语义分割标记为每个像素分类任务，而使用替代掩码分类处理实例级分割。我们的主要洞察力：掩码分类是足够的一般，可以使用完全相同的模型，丢失和培训过程来解决语义和实例级分段任务。在此观察之后，我们提出了一个简单的掩模分类模型，该模型预测了一组二进制掩码，每个模型与单个全局类标签预测相关联。总的来说，所提出的基于掩模分类的方法简化了语义和Panoptic分割任务的有效方法的景观，并显示出优异的经验结果。特别是，当类的数量大时，我们观察到掩码形成器优于每个像素分类基线。我们的面具基于分类的方法优于当前最先进的语义（ADE20K上的55.6 miou）和Panoptic Seation（Coco）模型的Panoptic Seationation（52.7 PQ）。

In this paper we present Mask DINO, a unified object detection and segmentation framework. Mask DINO extends DINO (DETR with Improved Denoising Anchor Boxes) by adding a mask prediction branch which supports all image segmentation tasks (instance, panoptic, and semantic). It makes use of the query embeddings from DINO to dot-product a high-resolution pixel embedding map to predict a set of binary masks. Some key components in DINO are extended for segmentation through a shared architecture and training process. Mask DINO is simple, efficient, and scalable, and it can benefit from joint large-scale detection and segmentation datasets. Our experiments show that Mask DINO significantly outperforms all existing specialized segmentation methods, both on a ResNet-50 backbone and a pre-trained model with SwinL backbone. Notably, Mask DINO establishes the best results to date on instance segmentation (54.5 AP on COCO), panoptic segmentation (59.4 PQ on COCO), and semantic segmentation (60.8 mIoU on ADE20K) among models under one billion parameters.

本文提出了一个简单而有效的框架蒙版，该框架将新提出的掩盖自distillation纳入对比的语言图像预处理中。掩盖自distillation的核心思想是将表示从完整的图像提取到蒙版图像预测的表示形式。这种合并享有两个重要的好处。首先，掩盖的自我验证目标是本地贴片表示学习，这与视觉对比度的互补，专注于与文本相关的表示。二，掩盖的自我验证也与视觉语言对比符合训练目标的视野对比是一致的。视觉编码器用于功能对齐，因此能够学习本地语义从该语言中获得间接监督。我们提供了专门设计的实验，并进行了全面的分析，以验证这两个好处。从经验上讲，我们表明，当MaskClip应用于各种具有挑战性的下游任务时，可以在线性探测，填充和零拍摄中取得卓越的结果，并在语言编码器的指导下取得了卓越的结果。

最近的进展表明，使用对比图像文本对的大规模预训练可以是从自然语言监督的高质量视觉表演学习的有前途的替代方案。从更广泛的监督来源受益，这种新的范例展示了对下游分类任务和数据集的令人印象深刻的可转移性。然而，从图像文本对中学习的知识转移到更复杂的密集预测任务的问题几乎没有访问过。在这项工作中，我们通过隐式和明确地利用来自剪辑的预先训练的知识来提出了一种新的密集预测框架。具体地，我们将剪辑中的原始图像文本匹配问题转换为像素文本匹配问题，并使用像素文本分数图来指导致密预测模型的学习。通过进一步使用图像中的上下文信息来提示语言模型，我们能够促进我们的模型来更好地利用预先接受训练的知识。我们的方法是模型 - 不可行的，它可以应用于任意密集的预测系统和各种预先训练的视觉底座，包括夹模型和想象成预先训练的模型。广泛的实验证明了我们对语义分割，对象检测和实例分段任务的方法的卓越性能。代码可在https://github.com/raoyongming/denseclip获得

分组和识别是视觉场景理解的重要组成部分，例如，用于对象检测和语义分割。借助端到端的深度学习系统，图像区域的分组通常通过像素级识别标签的自上而下的监督隐式进行。取而代之的是，在本文中，我们建议将分组机制恢复到深层网络中，从而使语义片段仅在文本监督下自动出现。我们提出了一个分层分组视觉变压器（GroupVit），它超出了常规的网格结构表示，并学会了将图像区域分组为逐渐更大的任意形状段。我们通过对比度损失在大规模图像文本数据集上与文本编码器共同训练小组vit。只有文本监督并且没有任何像素级注释，GroupVit就学会了将语义区域分组在一起，并以零拍的方式成功地将语义分割的任务转移到语义分割的任务，即，而没有任何进一步的微调。它在Pascal VOC 2012上获得了52.3％MIOU的零拍摄精度和Pascal上下文数据集中的22.4％MIOU，并竞争性地表现为需要更高水平监督的最先进的转移学习方法。我们在https://github.com/nvlabs/groupvit上开放代码。

在过去的几年中，基于自我注意力的变压器模型一直在主导许多计算机视觉任务。它们的出色模型质量在很大程度上取决于标记过多的图像数据集。为了减少对大型标记数据集的依赖，基于重建的掩盖自动编码器正在获得流行，这些自动编码器从未标记的图像中学习了高质量的可转移表示形式。出于同样的目的，最近弱监督的图像预处理方法探索了图像随附的文本字幕的语言监督。在这项工作中，我们提出了对语言辅助代表的预读图像，称为米兰。我们的预处理目标不是预测原始像素或低级别的特征，而是用使用字幕监督获得的大量语义信号来重建图像特征。此外，为了适应我们的重建目标，我们提出了更有效的促使解码器体系结构和语义意识到的掩码采样机制，从而进一步推进了预告片模型的传输性能。实验结果表明，米兰的精度比以前的工作更高。当掩盖的自动编码器在ImagEnet-1K数据集上进行了预估计并以224x224的输入分辨率进行了填充时，米兰在VITB/16上的前1位准确性达到了85.4％，使以前的先前最先前的艺术品达到1％。在下游的语义分割任务中，米兰在ADE20K数据集上使用VIT-B/16骨架达到52.7 MIOU，表现优于先前的蒙版预读结果4分。

尽管有不同的相关框架，已经通过不同和专门的框架解决了语义，实例和Panoptic分段。本文为这些基本相似的任务提供了统一，简单，有效的框架。该框架，名为K-Net，段段由一组被学习内核持续一致，其中每个内核负责为潜在实例或填充类生成掩码。要解决区分各种实例的困难，我们提出了一个内核更新策略，使每个内核动态和条件在输入图像中的有意义的组上。 K-NET可以以结尾的方式培训，具有二分匹配，其培训和推论是自然的NMS和无框。没有钟声和口哨，K-Net超越了先前发表的全面的全面的单一模型，在ADE20K Val上的MS Coco Test-Dev分割和语义分割上分别与55.2％PQ和54.3％Miou分裂。其实例分割性能也与MS COCO上的级联掩模R-CNN相同，具有60％-90％的推理速度。代码和模型将在https://github.com/zwwwayne/k-net/发布。

We present X-Decoder, a generalized decoding model that can predict pixel-level segmentation and language tokens seamlessly. X-Decodert takes as input two types of queries: (i) generic non-semantic queries and (ii) semantic queries induced from text inputs, to decode different pixel-level and token-level outputs in the same semantic space. With such a novel design, X-Decoder is the first work that provides a unified way to support all types of image segmentation and a variety of vision-language (VL) tasks. Further, our design enables seamless interactions across tasks at different granularities and brings mutual benefits by learning a common and rich pixel-level visual-semantic understanding space, without any pseudo-labeling. After pretraining on a mixed set of a limited amount of segmentation data and millions of image-text pairs, X-Decoder exhibits strong transferability to a wide range of downstream tasks in both zero-shot and finetuning settings. Notably, it achieves (1) state-of-the-art results on open-vocabulary segmentation and referring segmentation on eight datasets; (2) better or competitive finetuned performance to other generalist and specialist models on segmentation and VL tasks; and (3) flexibility for efficient finetuning and novel task composition (e.g., referring captioning and image editing). Code, demo, video, and visualization are available at https://x-decoder-vl.github.io.

In this paper, we propose a unified panoptic segmentation network (UPSNet) for tackling the newly proposed panoptic segmentation task. On top of a single backbone residual network, we first design a deformable convolution based semantic segmentation head and a Mask R-CNN style instance segmentation head which solve these two subtasks simultaneously. More importantly, we introduce a parameter-free panoptic head which solves the panoptic segmentation via pixel-wise classification. It first leverages the logits from the previous two heads and then innovatively expands the representation for enabling prediction of an extra unknown class which helps better resolve the conflicts between semantic and instance segmentation. Additionally, it handles the challenge caused by the varying number of instances and permits back propagation to the bottom modules in an end-to-end manner. Extensive experimental results on Cityscapes, COCO and our internal dataset demonstrate that our UPSNet achieves stateof-the-art performance with much faster inference. Code has been made available at: https://github.com/ uber-research/UPSNet. * Equal contribution.† This work was done when Hengshuang Zhao was an intern at Uber ATG.

Open vocabulary object detection has been greatly advanced by the recent development of vision-language pretrained model, which helps recognize novel objects with only semantic categories. The prior works mainly focus on knowledge transferring to the object proposal classification and employ class-agnostic box and mask prediction. In this work, we propose CondHead, a principled dynamic network design to better generalize the box regression and mask segmentation for open vocabulary setting. The core idea is to conditionally parameterize the network heads on semantic embedding and thus the model is guided with class-specific knowledge to better detect novel categories. Specifically, CondHead is composed of two streams of network heads, the dynamically aggregated head and the dynamically generated head. The former is instantiated with a set of static heads that are conditionally aggregated, these heads are optimized as experts and are expected to learn sophisticated prediction. The latter is instantiated with dynamically generated parameters and encodes general class-specific information. With such a conditional design, the detection model is bridged by the semantic embedding to offer strongly generalizable class-wise box and mask prediction. Our method brings significant improvement to the state-of-the-art open vocabulary object detection methods with very minor overhead, e.g., it surpasses a RegionClip model by 3.0 detection AP on novel categories, with only 1.1% more computation.
