Segmentation models show dataset-dependent feature-spectral fragility

A new research paper explores the fragility of segmentation models in computer vision, focusing on their dependence on frequency content within learned feature representations. The study applied low-pass filtering to internal representations of CNN, State Space Model (SSM), and Transformer architectures across two datasets, CVC-ClinicDB and ISIC2018. Results showed significant performance degradation, particularly on CVC-ClinicDB, with the severity varying by architecture and dataset. The research also identified that sensitivity to these spectral interventions is localized at architecture-specific depths and suggested that feature-spectral robustness is distinct from input-domain spectral robustness.

    Feature-Spectral Fragility in Segmentation: Dataset Dependence, Architecture-Specific Localization, and Spectral Correlates

    arXiv:2608.29167v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Robustness of segmentation models is commonly assessed through input-domain perturbations, while dependence on frequency content within learned feature representations remains less understood. We probe this dependence using targeted…
