Open-vocabulary semantic segmentation strives to distinguish pixels into different semantic groups from an open set of categories.

… propose a simple encoder-decoder, named SED, for open-vocabulary semantic segmentation, which comprises a hierarchical encoder-based cost map generation and a gradual fusion decoder with category early rejection.

… Compared to plain transformer, hierarchical backbone better captures local spatial information and has linear computational complexity with respect to input size.

… gradual fusion decoder employs a top-down structure to combine cost map and the feature maps of different backbone levels for segmentation.

To accelerate inference speed, … introduce a category early rejection scheme in the decoder that rejects many no-existing categories at the early layer of decoder, resulting in at most 4.7 times acceleration without accuracy degradation.

Experiments … demonstrates the efficacy of … SED method …
