This paper presents a joint Caption Grounding and Generation (CGG) framework for instance-level open vocabulary segmentation. The main contributions are: (1) using fine-grained object nouns in captions to improve grounding with object queries. (2) using captions as supervision signals to extract rich information from other words helps identify novel categories. To our knowledge, this paper is the first to unify segmentation and caption generation for open vocabulary learning. The proposed framework significantly improves OVIS and OSPS and comparable results on OVOD without pre-training on large-scale datasets.
