Researchers have introduced AquaOV255, a new large-scale dataset for underwater image segmentation featuring 255 categories and over 20,000 images. They also established UOVSBench, the first benchmark for underwater open-vocabulary segmentation, by combining AquaOV255 with five other datasets. To address the lack of training data for underwater scenes, the Earth2Ocean framework was developed. This framework enables the transfer of terrestrial vision-language models to underwater domains without requiring additional training, utilizing a Geometric-guided Visual Mask Generator and a Category-visual Semantic Alignment module.
