PCA-Seg: Revisiting Cost Aggregation for Open-Vocabulary Semantic and Part Segmentation
Recent advances in vision-language models (VLMs) have garnered substantial attention in open-vocabulary semantic and part segmentation (OSPS). However, existing methods extract image-text alignment cues from cost volumes through a serial structure of spatial and class aggregations, leading to knowledge interference between class-level semantics and spatial context. Therefore, this paper proposes a simple yet effective parallel cost aggregation (PCA-Seg) paradigm to alleviate the above challenge, enabling the model to capture richer vision-language alignment information from cost volumes. Specifically, we design an expert-driven perceptual learning (EPL) module that efficiently integrates semantic and contextual streams. It incorporates a multi-expert parser to extract complementary features from multiple perspectives. In addition, a coefficient mapper is designed to adaptively learn pixel-specific weights for each feature, enabling the integration of complementary knowledge into a unified and robust feature embedding. Furthermore, we propose a feature orthogonalization decoupling (FOD) strategy to mitigate redundancy between the semantic and contextual streams, which allows the EPL module to learn diverse knowledge from orthogonalized features. Extensive experiments on eight benchmarks show that each parallel block in PCA-Seg adds merely 0.35M parameters while achieving state-of-the-art OSPS performance.
