In conclusion, this paper proposes an innovative framework for weakly-supervised open-vocabulary segmentation, named Uni-OVSeg. Using independent image-text and image-mask pairs, Uni-OVSeg effectively reduces the dependency on labour-intensive image-mask-text triplets, meanwhile achieving impressive segmentation performance in open-vocabulary settings. Using the LVLM to refine text descriptions and multi-scale ensemble to enhance the quality of region embeddings, we alleviate the noise in masktext correspondences, achieving substantial performance improvements. Notably, Uni-OVSeg significantly outper
forms previous state-of-the-art weakly-supervised methods and even surpasses the cutting-edge fully-supervised method on the Challenging PASCAL Context-459 dataset. This impressive advancement demonstrates the superiority of our proposed framework and paves the way for further research.
