A two-stage framework called DIS-SAM is introduced, which enhances the Segment Anything Model (SAM) to achieve highly accurate dichotomous image segmentation while retaining its interactive, promptable design. The model demonstrates an 8.5% improvement in maximum F-measure over original SAM and superior zero-shot generalization capabilities across diverse datasets, coupled with reduced human correction efforts.

Key insights

  • Integrating SAM's interactive, coarse segmentation with a specialized, high-precision refinement network effectively combines the benefits of foundation models with the demands of highly accurate segmentation.
  • Utilizing the prompt box and SAM's coarse mask as explicit inputs to the refinement stage provides synergistic guidance for both object localization and fine-grained boundary correction.
  • Data enrichment techniques and architectural regularizations like Parameter Orthogonalization are essential for improving the robustness and generalizability of the refinement model when fine-tuning on diverse datasets.
