Abstract
En 中文
Existing weakly supervised semantic segmentation (WSSS) methods based on image-level labels always rely on class activation maps (CAMs), which measure the relationships between features and classifiers. However, CAMs only focus on the most discriminative regions of images, resulting in their poor coverage performance. We attribute this to the deficiency in the recognition ability of a single classifier and the negative impacts caused by magnitudes during the CAMs normalisation process. To address the aforementioned issues, we propose to construct selective multiple classifiers (SMC). During the training process, we extract multiple prototypes for each class and store them in the corresponding memory bank. These prototypes are divided into foreground and background prototypes, with the former used to identify foreground objects and the latter aimed at preventing the false activation of background pixels. As for the inference stage, multiple prototypes are adaptively selected from the memory bank for each image as SMC. Subsequently, CAMs are generated by measuring the angle between SMC and features. We enhance the recognition ability of classifiers by adaptively constructing multiple classifiers for each image, while only relying on angle measurement to generate CAMs can alleviate the suppression phenomenon caused by magnitudes. Furthermore, SMC can be integrated into other WSSS approaches to help generate better CAMs. Extensive experiments conducted on standard WSSS benchmarks such as PASCAL VOC 2012 and MS COCO 2014 demonstrate the superiority of our proposed method.
