Against the backdrop of rapid internet technology development and widespread mobile device adoption, digital information has become a vital productive force across various industries. The explosive growth of information presents both challenges and opportunities. The intelligent processing of massive data to achieve digital transformation has become an increasingly important issue. In the field of computer vision, self-supervised learning leverages the intrinsic information in visual data for model training without relying on manual annotations. This approach not only effectively addresses the costly issue of labeling but also enhances the performance of various downstream tasks. Visual self-supervised learning is a fundamental and significant aspect of computer vision. Its core goal is to construct foundation models for visual self-supervision, which have already played a pivotal role in domains such as autonomous driving, medical imaging, and military reconnaissance. However, in comparison to the breakthroughs achieved in language self-supervised models, the progress in visual self-supervised models has not yet reached the levels seen in natural language processing, facing numerous key scientific challenges. Addressing these challenges is crucial for advancing the development of visual self-supervised foundational models and holds significant practical significance and value.

In the process of building self-supervised vision foundation models, researchers face key challenges primarily focused on how to efficiently conduct self-supervised pre-training in a large-scale open scenarios. The essence of this challenge lies in designing and implementing self-supervised learning techniques capable of deeply mining and efficiently utilizing the intrinsic information of vast amounts of unlabeled data, thereby enhancing the model's generalization ability and performance without the need for costly labeling. To address this challenge, researchers need to solve several key scientific problems:

1. The problem of effectively learning local semantics from unlabeled data. Understanding how to efficiently capture local semantics from unlabeled data, enabling models to grasp the core features and structures of data without supervisory signals, is crucial for the development of generalizable representation learning in models. This issue holds significant importance for advancing the state of unsupervised learning methodologies.

2. The problem of self-supervised learning from large-scale open scenarios. It is crucial to develop methods for learning from vast, open datasets, allowing models to extract stable and distinctive feature representations from complex and varied data, which is vital for the model's generalization across different scenes.

3. The problem of efficient and reliable self-supervised model training. Developing methods for efficient and reliable training of models is essential to meet the stringent demands for training costs and prediction reliability in large-scale and practical application scenarios, which is significant for the practical implementation of the model.

This paper proposes a series of systematic solutions to three key scientific problems in the construction process of visual self-supervised foundation models, significantly improving model performance and practicality. The main research findings and contributions of this paper can be summarized as follows:

1. To address the inadequacy of previous visual self-supervised algorithms in effectively learning local semantics of unlabeled data, this paper introduces an attention-guided masked self-supervised pre-training algorithm. Drawing from the masked language models in the natural language processing field, this paper designs a masked image self-supervised model suitable for computer vision, effectively overcoming the limitations of mainstream methods in local information extraction and contextual learning. Furthermore, an attention-guided mask strategy is proposed as an alternative to traditional random mask. This strategy uses the model's own attention mechanism to guide the masking process, maintaining the diversity of random mask while preserving the semantic integrity of images and effectively capturing the contextual relationships between image regions. Therefore, models pre-trained through this technology can effectively utilize the fine-grained information in the data and improve the accuracy of the model in multiple computer vision downstream tasks.

2. To address the insufficient learning capability of previous visual self-supervised algorithms when dealing with large-scale multi-object data, this paper proposes a hierarchical self-supervised algorithm based on multi-object data training. Given the difficulty of previous self-supervised methods in achieving data robustness and general representation extraction in multi-object scenarios, this paper explores self-supervised techniques capable of effectively learning general representations in multi-object image scenes. This technique starts from the characteristics of multi-object data itself, dividing multi-object self-supervised learning into scene-scene, scene-instance, and instance-instance levels, and employs an unsupervised Selective Search method to extract instances for representation learning. This three-level pre-training ensures the algorithm's robustness and universality in multi-object scenes. Extensive experimental results demonstrate significant pre-training effects on public datasets and improvements in multiple downstream tasks. Additionally, the technique exhibits good adaptability to network structures. Therefore, this technology can have the ability to learn in large-scale multi-object data and provides theoretical support for subsequent work.

3. To better adapt to the demands of large-scale real-world scenarios and open environments, this paper introduces a unified representation algorithm trained on arbitrary scenes. This paper theoretically analyzes the conflicts between algorithmic and data attributes faced by existing self-supervised algorithms when dealing with large-scale open scenarios. It further formally simplifies the algorithms and circumvents these conflicts, thereby eliminating the need for complex pre-processing steps and reliance on additional unsupervised algorithms. In terms of technical implementation, this paper addresses existing algorithmic conflicts through explicit patch-level learning and proposes a patch feature enhancement method. This approach replaces traditional global data augmentation strategies, reducing global interference. The technique enables the model to learn heterogeneous feature representations from images and achieves significant results in actual training. Extensive experiments on various public and mixed datasets prove the effectiveness of this technique in arbitrary scenes. Therefore, this technology can not only effectively utilize fine-grained information in data, but also have the ability to learn in large-scale arbitrary scenarios.

4. To address the problem of low training efficiency and unreliable predictions in visual self-supervised algorithms, this paper proposes an efficient self-supervised algorithm based on a consistency mechanism. This paper begins with an in-depth analysis of the underlying mechanisms of mainstream algorithms and identifies high mask operations as the primary cause of low efficiency and unreliable predictions. In response to this discovery, a parallel mask strategy was designed to increase data utilization, significantly improving pre-training efficiency. Moreover, by incorporating the self-consistency mechanism, our method learns consistency in patch predictions and accumulates this consistency to global predictions, substantially enhancing the consistency and reliability of predictions. Experimental results show that this technique requires only 13% of the pre-training time and half the computational resources of advanced models to achieve equivalent performance on the same network architecture, demonstrating its exceptional efficiency. Additionally, pre-trained models based on this technique have shown advanced predictive capabilities on various types of public datasets and achieve outstanding performance in a variety of visual downstream tasks. Therefore, this technology can effectively utilize fine-grained information in data, learn in large-scale arbitrary scenarios, and is efficient and reliable.
