In design of instance segmentation networks that reconstruct masks, segmentation is often taken as its literal definition -- assigning each pixel a label. This has led to thinking the problem as a template matching one with the goal of…
Instance segmentation is one of the actively studied research topics in computer vision in which many objects of interest should be separated individually. While many feed-forward networks produce high-quality segmentation on different…
Panoptic segmentation assigns semantic and instance ID labels to every pixel of an image. As permutations of instance IDs are also valid solutions, the task requires learning of high-dimensional one-to-many mapping. As a result,…
