ViCo-SAM3 framework enhances camouflaged object segmentation

Researchers have introduced ViCo-SAM3, a novel framework designed to improve open-vocabulary camouflaged object segmentation (OVCOS). This new approach addresses the semantic gap between text descriptions and visual cues in existing models like SAM3. ViCo-SAM3 utilizes a vision-conditioned module to dynamically adjust text embeddings with image context, enhancing cross-modal alignment. The framework also includes a ViCoBind module to further strengthen interactions between visual and textual representations, achieving state-of-the-art results on the OVCamo benchmark. AI

IMPACT Introduces a new method to improve the accuracy and flexibility of camouflaged object segmentation models.

    ViCo-SAM3: Vision-Conditioned Alignment for Open-Vocabulary Camouflaged Object Segmentation

    arXiv:2609.15418v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Open-vocabulary camouflaged object segmentation (OVCOS) aims to segment unseen camouflaged objects under text guidance. We observe that SAM3 still suffers from a pronounced semantic gap between global textual semantics and fine-grai…
