New framework boosts few-shot scene text segmentation with attribute learning

Researchers have developed TSAL, a novel attribute-aware framework designed for few-shot scene text segmentation. This approach utilizes a pre-trained CLIP model to extract transferable text attributes, addressing the limitations of scarce datasets and high annotation costs in supervised methods. TSAL incorporates a Visual-Guided Branch for semantic and textural features and an Adaptive Prompt-Guided Branch for diverse text attributes, further enhanced by an Adaptive Feature Alignment module to bridge visual and textual representations. Experiments show TSAL achieves state-of-the-art performance in few-shot settings and demonstrates strong generalization capabilities. AI

IMPACT This research offers a more efficient method for text segmentation in images, potentially reducing the need for extensive labeled data in computer vision tasks.

    Learning Attribute-aware Representations for Few-shot Scene Text Segmentation

    arXiv:2504.11164v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Supervised scene text segmentation has achieved notable progress in recent years. However, its development is largely constrained by the scarcity of high-quality datasets and the high cost of pixel-level annotations. To address …
