Zero-Shot and Supervised Bird Image Segmentation Using Foundation Models: A Dual-Pipeline Approach with Grounding DINO~1.5, YOLOv11, and SAM~2.1

arXiv – CS AI|Abhinav Munagala||3 views
🤖AI Summary

Researchers developed a dual-pipeline framework for bird image segmentation using foundation models including Grounding DINO 1.5, YOLOv11, and SAM 2.1. The supervised pipeline achieved state-of-the-art results with 0.912 IoU on the CUB-200-2011 dataset, while the zero-shot pipeline achieved 0.831 IoU using only text prompts.

Key Takeaways
  • The supervised pipeline outperformed all prior baselines including SegFormer-B2 by 7.0 percentage points in IoU scores.
  • Zero-shot pipeline achieved 0.831 IoU using only text prompts, the first such result reported on this benchmark.
  • Foundation model pipelines outperformed task-specific end-to-end trained segmentation networks.
  • The approach requires only lightweight detector fine-tuning of approximately 1 hour for domain adaptation.
  • Complete PyTorch implementation and trained weights are made publicly available for researchers.
