\textsc{CR-Seg}: Attention-Guided and CoT-Enhanced Coarse-to-Refined Reasoning Segmentation

arXiv:2606.03564v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reasoning segmentation aims to segment target objects described by complex language through joint visual-textual reasoning. Existing methods typically rely on either learned semantic tokens to bridge Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) and segmentation models, suffering from difficult cross-modal alignment, or explicit spatial prompts such as bounding boxes, which may lose holistic response semantics. To address these limitations, we propose Attention-Guided and CoT-Enhanced Coarse-to-Refined Reasoning Segmentation, termed CR-Seg, a two-st

Why this matters
Why now

The continuous advancements in multimodal AI models and the increasing demand for more precise visual-textual reasoning drives ongoing research into sophisticated segmentation techniques.

Why it’s important

Improved reasoning segmentation enhances the capability of AI to understand and interact with complex visual information, critical for autonomous systems and advanced AI applications.

What changes

This research introduces a novel, more robust approach to reasoning segmentation that promises better accuracy and semantic understanding by integrating attention-guided and Chain-of-Thought (CoT) enhanced methods.
