VIP: Visual-guided Prompt Evolution for Efficient Dense Vision-Language Inference

Pursuing training-free open-vocabulary semantic segmentation in an efficient and generalizable manner remains challenging due to the deep-seated spatial bias in CLIP. To overcome the limitations of existing solutions, this work moves beyond the CLIP-based paradigm and harnesses the recent spatially-aware dino$.$txt framework to facilitate more efficient and high-quality dense prediction. While dino$.$txt exhibits robust spatial awareness, we find that the semantic ambiguity of text queries gives rise to severe mismatch within its dense cross-modal interactions. To address this, we introduce Visual-guided Prompt evolution (VIP) to rectify the semantic expressiveness of text queries in dino$.$txt, unleashing its potential for fine-grained object perception. Towards this end, VIP integrates alias expansion with a visual-guided distillation mechanism to mine valuable semantic cues, which are robustly aggregated in a saliency-aware manner to yield a high-fidelity prediction. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that VIP: 1. surpasses the top-leading methods by 1.4%-8.4% average mIoU, 2. generalizes well to diverse challenging domains, and 3. requires marginal inference time and memory overhead.

Mushroom image recognition and distance generation based on attention-mechanism model and genetic information

The species identification of Macrofungi, i.e. mushrooms, has always been a challenging task. There are still a large number of poisonous mushrooms that have not been found, which poses a risk to people's life. However, the traditional identification method requires a large number of experts with knowledge in the field of taxonomy for manual identification, it is not only inefficient but also consumes a lot of manpower and capital costs. In this paper, we propose a new model based on attention-mechanism, MushroomNet, which applies the lightweight network MobileNetV3 as the backbone model, combined with the attention structure proposed by us, and has achieved excellent performance in the mushroom recognition task. On the public dataset, the test accuracy of the MushroomNet model has reached 83.9%, and on the local dataset, the test accuracy has reached 77.4%. The proposed attention mechanisms well focused attention on the bodies of mushroom image for mixed channel attention and the attention heat maps visualized by Grad-CAM. Further, in this study, genetic distance was added to the mushroom image recognition task, the genetic distance was used as the representation space, and the genetic distance between each pair of mushroom species in the dataset was used as the embedding of the genetic distance representation space, so as to predict the image distance and species. identify. We found that using the MES activation function can predict the genetic distance of mushrooms very well, but the accuracy is lower than that of SoftMax. The proposed MushroomNet was demonstrated it shows great potential for automatic and online mushroom image and the proposed automatic procedure would assist and be a reference to traditional mushroom classification.

Taxonomy and evolution predicting using deep learning in images

Molecular and morphological characters, as important parts of biological taxonomy, are contradictory but need to be integrated. Organism's image recognition and bioinformatics are emerging and hot problems nowadays but with a gap between them. In this work, a multi-branching recognition framework mediated by genetic information bridges this barrier, which establishes the link between macro-morphology and micro-molecular information of mushrooms. The novel multi-perspective structure is proposed to fuse the feature images from three branching models, which significantly improves the accuracy of recognition by about 10% and up to more than 90%. Further, genetic information is implemented to the mushroom image recognition task by using genetic distance embeddings as the representation space for predicting image distance and species identification. Semantic overfitting of traditional classification tasks and the granularity of fine-grained image recognition are also discussed in depth for the first time. The generalizability of the model was investigated in fine-grained scenarios using zero-shot learning tasks, which could predict the taxonomic and evolutionary information of unseen samples. We presented the first method to map images to DNA, namely used an encoder mapping image to genetic distances, and then decoded DNA through a pre-trained decoder, where the total test accuracy on 37 species for DNA prediction is 87.45%. This study creates a novel recognition framework by systematically studying the mushroom image recognition problem, bridging the gap between macroscopic biological information and microscopic molecular information, which will provide a new reference for intelligent biometrics in the future.
