Researchers have developed a new method for weakly-supervised RGB-D Salient Object Detection (SOD) that utilizes the Segment Anything Model (SAM) to generate pseudo annotations from sparse scribbles. This approach, named SAM-PAG, expands these scribbles into dense pixel-level annotations. The generated annotations are then used with a diffusion model called $S^2$Diff, which refines noisy saliency maps by integrating cross-modal features and mitigating noise interference. This combined method achieves competitive performance compared to fully-supervised techniques on multiple datasets. AI
