Towards Motion-aware Referring Image Segmentation
Referring Image Segmentation (RIS) requires identifying objects from images based on textual descriptions. We observe that existing methods significantly underperform on motion-related queries compared to appearance-based ones. To address this, we first introduce an efficient data augmentation scheme that extracts motion-centric phrases from original captions, exposing models to more motion expressions without additional annotations. Second, since the same object can be described differently depending on the context, we propose Multimodal Radial Contrastive Learning (MRaCL), performed on fused image-text embeddings rather than unimodal representations. For comprehensive evaluation, we int...
