GPT-ZSS: a unified zero-shot segmentation framework leveraging GPT-generated semantic embeddings and relationship alignment
摘要
In this paper, we introduce GPT-ZSS, a unified zero-shot segmentation framework capable of performing instance, semantic, and panoptic segmentation for unseen categories without requiring any training samples. By leveraging GPT-generated fine-grained semantic embeddings, our approach achieves more nuanced semantic features. A feature fusion generator integrates these embeddings with hand-crafted features, thereby enhancing semantic understanding. Furthermore, we propose a multi-scale channel attention relationship alignment (MSCA-RA) strategy, which aligns inter-class relationships across visual and semantic spaces, significantly improving segmentation accuracy for unseen categories. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that GPT-ZSS surpasses state-of-the-art results in zero-shot instance and semantic segmentation tasks while achieving promising performance in panoptic segmentation.
