  • Publication number: 20240378859
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method relates to language-guided self-supervised semantic segmentation. A modified image is generated by performing data augmentation on a source image. A machine learning model generates first pixel embeddings based on the modified image. First segment embeddings are generated using the first pixel embeddings. A pretrained vision-language model generates second pixel embeddings based on the source image. Second segment embeddings are generated by applying segment contour data from the first pixel embeddings to the second pixel embeddings after the data augmentation is performed on the second pixel embeddings. Embedding consistent loss data is generated by comparing the first segment embeddings in relation to the second segment embeddings. Combined loss data is generated that includes the embedding consistent loss data. Parameters of the machine learning model are updated based on the combined loss data.
