Language-guided modulation-update for semi-supervised semantic segmentation

Abstract
En 中文
• We propose LMU, a novel semi-supervised semantic segmentation framework that incorporates language-guided conditional feature updates to better exploit the relationship between labeled and unlabeled data. • We design a semantic-driven adaptive feature condition update strategy that enforces class-consistent feature interactions, alleviating the ambiguity introduced by indiscriminate conditional updates. • We propose a Category Semantic Understanding Module, which exploits the refined similarity matrix to modulate unlabeled features, thereby ensuring a more reliable and semantically consistent conditional updating process. • We conduct extensive experiments to rigorously validate the effectiveness of LMU. The results consistently demonstrate significant improvements over stateof- the-art methods on three widely recognized benchmarks: PASCAL VOC 2012, Cityscapes, and COCO.
