From an enormous amount of image-text pairs, large-scale vision-language models (VLMs) learn to implicitly associate image regions with words

… propose … Plug-and-Play Open-Vocabulary Semantic Segmentation (PnP-OVSS) … leverages a VLM with direct text-to-image cross-attention and an image-text matching loss to produce semantic segmentation.

However, cross-attention alone tends to over-segment, whereas cross-attention plus GradCAM tend to under-segment.

To alleviate this issue, … introduce Salience Dropout; by iteratively dropping patches that the model is most attentive to, … are able to better resolve the entire extent of the segmentation mask.

… method does not require any neural network training and performs hyperparameter tuning without the need for any segmentation annotations, even for a validation set.

PnP-OVSS … substantial improvements over a comparable baseline … and even outperforms most baselines that conduct additional network training on top of pretrained VLMs.
