Unsupervised semantic segmentation (USS) aims to achieve high-quality segmentation without manual pixel-level annotations. Existing USS models provide coarse category classification for regions, but the results often have blurry and imprecise edges. Recently, a robust framework called the segment anything model (SAM) has been proven to deliver precise boundary object masks. Therefore, this paper proposes a universal organizer based on SAM, termed as UO-SAM, to enhance the mask quality of USS models. Specifically, using only the original image and the masks generated by the USS model, we extract visual features to obtain positional prompts for target objects. Then, we activate a local region optimizer that performs segmentation using SAM on a per-object basis. Finally, we employ a global region optimizer to incorporate global image information and refine the masks to obtain the final fine-grained masks. Compared to existing methods, our UO-SAM achieves state-of-the-art performance.
