Abstract

Referring image segmentation aims to segment the entity referred by a natural language description. Previous methods tackle this problem by conducting multimodal feature interaction between image and words or sentence only. However, considering only single granularity feature interaction tends to result in incomplete understanding of visual and linguistic information. To overcome this limitation, we propose to conduct multi-granularity multimodal feature interaction by introducing a Word-Granularity Feature Modulation (WGFM) module and a Sentence-Granularity Context Extraction (SGCE) module, which can be complementary in feature alignment and obtain a comprehensive understanding of the input image and referring expression. Extensive experiments show that our method outperforms previous methods and achieves new state-of-the-art performances on four popular datasets, i.e., UNC (+1.45%), UNC+ (+1.63%), G-Ref (+0.47%) and ReferIt (+1.02%).
