This work aims to leverage pre-trained foundation models, such as contrastive language-image pre-training (CLIP) and segment anything model (SAM), to address weakly supervised semantic segmentation (WSSS) using image-level labels.

… propose a coarse-to-fine framework based on CLIP and SAM for generating high-quality segmentation seeds.

… construct an image classification task and a seed segmentation task, which are jointly performed by CLIP … A SAM-based seeding (SAMS) module is designed and applied to each task to produce either coarse or fine seed maps.

… design a multi-label contrastive loss supervised by image-level labels and a CAM activation loss supervised by the generated coarse seed map. These losses are used to learn the prompts

… input each image along with the learned segmentation-specific prompts into CLIP and

the SAMS module to produce high-quality segmentation seeds. These … serve as pseudo labels to train an off-the-shelf segmentation network like other two-stage WSSS methods.

… method achieves the state-of-the-art performance on PASCAL VOC 2012 and competitive results on MS COCO 2014.
