contents Text-to-image diffusion techniques have shown exceptional capabilities in producing high-quality, dense visual predictions from open-vocabulary text. This indicates a strong correlation between visual and textual domains in open concepts and that diffusion-based text-to-image models can capture rich and diverse information for computer vision tasks. However, we found that those advantages do not hold for learning of features of camouflaged individuals because of the significant blending between their visual boundaries and their surroundings. In this paper, while leveraging the benefits of diffusion-based techniques and text-image models in open-vocabulary settings, we aim to address a challenging problem in computer vision: open-vocabulary camouflaged instance segmentation (OVCIS). Specifically, we propose a method built upon state-of-the-art diffusion empowered by open-vocabulary to learn multi-scale textual-visual features for camouflaged object representation learning. Such cross-domain representations are desirable in segmenting camouflaged objects where visual cues subtly distinguish the objects from the background, and in segmenting novel object classes which are not seen in training. To enable such powerful representations, we devise complementary modules to effectively fuse cross-domain features, and to engage relevant features towards respective foreground objects. We validate and compare our method with existing ones on several benchmark datasets of camouflaged and generic open-vocabulary instance segmentation. The experimental results confirm the advances of our method over existing ones. We believe that our proposed method would open a new avenue for handling camouflages such as computer vision-based surveillance systems, wildlife monitoring, and military reconnaissance.
