## Abstract

How to handle domain shifts when recognizing or segmenting visual data across domains has been studied by learning and vision communities. In this paper, we address domain generalized semantic segmentation, in which the segmentation model is trained on multiple source domains and is expected to generalize to unseen data domains. We propose a novel meta-learning scheme with feature disentanglement ability, which derives domain-invariant features for semantic segmentation with domain generalization guarantees. In particular, we introduce a class-specific feature critic module in our framework, enforcing the disentangled visual features with domain generalization guarantees. Finally, our quantitative results on benchmark datasets confirm the effectiveness and robustness of our proposed model, performing favorably against state-of-the-art domain adaptation and generalization methods in segmentation.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
