In this work, we propose a single deep neural network for panoptic segmentation, for which the goal is to provide each individual pixel of an input image with a class label, as in semantic segmentation, as well as a unique identifier for…

We present Generative Semantic Segmentation (GSS), a generative learning approach for semantic segmentation. Uniquely, we cast semantic segmentation as an image-conditioned mask generation problem. This is achieved by replacing the…

We tackle the problem of object discovery, where objects are segmented for a given input image, and the system is trained without using any direct supervision whatsoever. A novel copy-pasting GAN framework is proposed, where the generator…

We present Adaptive Instance Selection network architecture for class-agnostic instance segmentation. Given an input image and a point $(x, y)$, it generates a mask for the object located at $(x, y)$. The network adapts to the input point…

An instance with a bad mask might make a composite image that uses it look fake. This encourages us to learn segmentation by generating realistic composite images. To achieve this, we propose a novel framework that exploits a new proposed…

Learning-based methods for visual segmentation have made progress on particular types of segmentation tasks, but are limited by the necessary supervision, the narrow definitions of fixed tasks, and the lack of control during inference for…

Few-shot part segmentation aims to separate different parts of an object given only a few annotated samples. Due to the challenge of limited data, existing works mainly focus on learning classifiers over pre-trained features, failing to…

This work examines the use of a fully convolutional net (FCN) to find an image segment, given a pixel within this segment region. The net receives an image, a point in the image and a region of interest (RoI ) mask. The net output is a…

Image recognition/classification is a widely studied problem, but its reverse problem, image generation, has drawn much less attention until recently. But the vast majority of current methods for image generation require training/retraining…
