From Local Matches to Global Masks: Template-Guided Instance Detection and Segmentation in Open-World Scenes

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2603.03577v2 Announce Type: replace Detecting and segmenting novel object instances in open-world environments is a fundamental problem in robotic perception. Given only a small set of template images, a robot must locate and segment a specific object instance in a cluttered, previously unseen scene. Existing proposal-based approaches are highly sensitive to proposal quality and often fail under occlusion and background clutter.
