TLDRIn this section, we define open-vocabulary segmentation as the task of segmenting images into masks linked to semantic categories not seen during training. We then introduce a baseline approach and present our proposed Uni-OVSeg framework, which tackles the challenge of segmenting novel categories using natural language representations of test categories. via the TL;DR App

In this section, we first define the problem of openvocabulary segmentation in Sec. 3.1. We then introduce a straightforward baseline in Sec. 3.2. Finally, we present our proposed Uni-OVSeg framework in Sec. 3.3, including an overview, mask generation, mask-text alignment, and open-vocabulary inference.
