Training-Free Entity-Level Few-Shot Segmentation of Remote Sensing Images with Advection Refinement
Existing cross-domain few-shot segmentation approaches suffer from high training costs due to source-domain episodic training and pixel-wise dense prediction, while often producing fragmented and noisy predictions. To overcome these issues, we propose a training-free entity-level few-shot segmentation framework for remote sensing images with advection refinement. Specifically, we first leverage SAM3's generic geometric priors to generate category-agnostic entity primitives. By reformulating few-shot inference from pixel-level prediction to entity-level reasoning, foreground and background prototypes are constructed and combined with dense textual semantic responses from SAM3 to build a multi-modal semantic potential field. Furthermore, an advection equation-based semantic refinement mechanism is introduced to propagate category-aware information across both feature and similarity spaces, enhancing semantic continuity and suppressing local texture noise. Extensive experiments on multiple remote sensing datasets demonstrate that the proposed framework effectively mitigates domain shift and local noise, substantially improving SAM3's adaptation capability for remote sensing few-shot segmentation without additional training. Our code will be publicly available at https://github.com/yu-ni1989/ELFSS-AR.
