Abstract

Referring Image Segmentation (RIS) aims to connect image and language via outputting the corresponding object masks given a text description, which is a fundamental vision-language task. Despite lots of works that have achieved considerable progress for RIS, in this work, we explore an essential question, "what if the description is wrong or misleading of the text description?". We term such a sentence as a negative sentence. However, we find that existing works cannot handle such settings. To this end, we propose a novel formulation of RIS, named Robust Referring Image Segmentation (R-RIS). It considers the negative sentence inputs besides the regularly given text inputs. We present three different datasets via augmenting the input negative sentences and a new metric to unify both input types. Furthermore, we design a new transformer-based model named RefSegformer, where we introduce a token-based vision and language fusion module. Such module can be easily extended to our R-RIS setting by adding extra blank tokens. Our proposed RefSegformer achieves the new state-of-the-art results on three regular RIS datasets and three R-RIS datasets, which serves as a new solid baseline for further research.
