Abstract
Existing Few-Shot Semantic Segmentation (FSS) networks only rely on training with query images containing the class of interest, which hinders their performance in scenarios where the class is absent, compromising the network’s ecological validity. To rectify this, we propose a novel training loop that incorporates negative instances during training, providing the networks with exposure to a broader range of class instances. After testing this approach, our results show that not only did the models trained on our novel training loop improve in cases where the class of interest was absent from the query image, the models also improved when the class of interest was present.
