Visual Memory and Textual Alignment for Cross-Modal Few-Shot Segmentation

To address this challenge, we propose ViTA-SAM, a framework built upon SAM 3 that integrates visual memory and textual features through cross-modal alignment.

Key points

  • Few-shot segmentation (FSS) aims to segment target objects with limited annotated examples.
  • In particular, SAM 3 provides strong visual representations and supports text-guided segmentation.
  • To bridge the gap between semantic and visual representations, we introduce a cross-modal alignment module that conditions textual features on memory-enhanced visual representations, yielding more consistent and visually grounded predictions.
  • In addition, we propose a pseudo-label refinement strategy that updates the memory with predicted query masks, enabling query-adaptive representation learning.
