Efficient SAM3 Adaptation for Multi-Class Semantic Segmentation via Dense Competitive Representations

Key points

• While SAM3 excels at single-concept segmentation, it falls short in complex, real-world environments where multiple concepts must be segmented simultaneously.1
• Moreover, as the number of concepts increases, the independent inference paradigm introduces prohibitive inference latency.1
• To address these limitations, we propose the Dense Competitive Representations SAM (DCR-SAM) framework.1
• To resolve semantic misclassifications, DCR-SAM dynamically aligns textual concepts with visual representations and incorporates a dense competition head to enforce explicit inter-class competition.1
