Researchers from Microsoft and Tsinghua University developed SCA, an enhancement to the SAM segmentation model, enabling it to generate regional captions. SCA adds a lightweight feature mixer for better alignment with language models, optimizing efficiency with a limited number of trainable parameters, and uses weak supervision pre-training. It shows strong zero-shot performance in tests.

Unlocking the Power of AI in Image Understanding and Description
Introducing SCA (Segment and Caption Anything): A cutting-edge solution that enhances the Segment Anything Model (SAM) by Microsoft and Tsinghua University researchers. SCA is designed to equip SAM with the ability to create detailed descriptions for different parts of an image, a feature that was previously missing.
What Makes SCA Stand Out?
- Efficient Regional Captioning: SCA adds a new layer to SAM, enabling it to describe image regions with precision.
- Lightweight Design: The feature mixer in SCA is a game-changer, connecting visual data with language models for accurate captioning.
- Training Efficiency: SCA is optimized for quick and scalable training, thanks to its focus on the feature mixer.
- Pre-Training Strategy: To tackle limited data, SCA uses a pre-training approach with weak supervision, making it smarter in understanding visual concepts.
- Proven Effectiveness: Rigorous testing shows SCA’s strong performance in generating accurate references for image regions.
