Abstract
En 中文
Weakly supervised semantic segmentation (WSSS) has gained significant popularity as it relies only on weak labels such as image level annotations rather than the pixel level annotations required by super-vised semantic segmentation (SSS) methods. Despite drastically reduced annotation costs, typical feature representations learned from WSSS are only representative of some salient parts of objects and less re-liable compared to SSS due to the weak guidance during training. In this paper, we propose a novel Multi-Strategy Contrastive Learning (MuSCLe) framework to obtain enhanced feature representations and improve WSSS performance by exploiting similarity and dissimilarity of contrastive sample pairs at im-age, region, pixel and object boundary levels. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our method and show that MuSCLe outperforms current state-of-the-art methods on the widely used PASCAL VOC 2012 dataset.(c) 2023 The Author(s).
