摘要

Underwater foreground object segmentation is crucial for marine exploration. This paper proposes an unsupervised segmentation method for unlabeled underwater images based on visual saliency. By integrating a self-supervised vision transformer with the Jenks natural breaks algorithm (JNBA), we introduce an adaptive region-weighted (ARW) clustering framework to address uneven foreground distributions. Our method achieves significant improvements in segmentation accuracy, with IoU enhancements of 9.9%, 5.7%, and 10.8% on the UFO-120 dataset compared to methods without ARW. Furthermore, our approach demonstrates superior performance on the SUIM, USOD10K, and UFO-120 datasets, outperforming state-of-the-art methods by 6.3%, 0.6%, and 1.7%, respectively. The source code for our method is publicly available at: https://github.com/LLL-YUE/ARW-JNBA.
