With the success of Vision Transformer (ViT) the migration of ViT is actively conducted in WSSS. This work proposes a novel WSSS framework with Class Token Infusion (CTI). By infusing the class tokens from images we guide class tokens to possess class-specific distinct characteristics and global-local consistency. For this we devise two kinds of token infusion: 1) Intra-image Class Token Infusion (I-CTI) and 2) Cross-Image Class Token Infusion (C-CTI). In I-CTI we infuse the class tokens from the same but differently augmented images and thus make CAMs consistent among various deformations (view color). In C-CTI by infusing the class tokens from the other images and imposing the resulting CAMs to be similar it learns class-specific distinct characteristics. Besides the CTI we bring the background (BG) concept into ViT with the BG token to reduce the false positive activation of CAMs. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method on PASCAL VOC 2012 and MS COCO 2014 datasets achieving state-of-the-art results in weakly supervised semantic segmentation.
