The author presents the Query-guided Prototype Evolution Network (QPENet) as a novel method to enhance Few-Shot Segmentation by integrating query features into prototype generation, resulting in customized solutions tailored to specific queries.
Abstract
The Query-guided Prototype Evolution Network (QPENet) introduces a new approach to Few-Shot Segmentation by integrating query features into prototype generation. This method involves two modules: Pseudo-prototype Generation (PPG) and Dual Prototype Evolution (DPE). The evolution of prototypes is tailored to the unique requirements of each query image. Experimental results on benchmark datasets demonstrate significant enhancements over existing techniques.
Key points:
- QPENet integrates query features into prototype generation for Few-Shot Segmentation.
- PPG module creates an initial prototype for preliminary segmentation of the query image.
- DPE module performs reverse segmentation on support images using pseudo-prototypes.
- GBC module eliminates potential adverse components from background prototypes.
- Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness of QPENet in delivering state-of-the-art performance in Few-Shot Segmentation.
Stats
Experimental results on the PASCAL-5i and COCO-20i datasets attest to substantial enhancements achieved by QPENet over prevailing state-of-the-art techniques.
