Depth-aware video panoptic segmentation tackles the inverse projection problem of restoring panoptic 3D point clouds from video sequences, where the 3D points are augmented with semantic classes and temporally consistent instance…
Existing semantic segmentation approaches either aim to improve the object's inner consistency by modeling the global context, or refine objects detail along their boundaries by multi-scale feature fusion. In this paper, a new paradigm for…
Panoptic segmentation requires segments of both "things" (countable object instances) and "stuff" (uncountable and amorphous regions) within a single output. A common approach involves the fusion of instance segmentation (for "things") and…
In recent years, compact and efficient scene understanding representations have gained popularity in increasing situational awareness and autonomy of robotic systems. In this work, we illustrate the concept of a panoptic edge segmentation…
We demonstrate our solution for the 2019 COCO panoptic segmentation task. Our method first performs instance segmentation and semantic segmentation separately, then combines the two to generate panoptic segmentation results. To enhance the…
In this work, we introduce the new scene understanding task of Part-aware Panoptic Segmentation (PPS), which aims to understand a scene at multiple levels of abstraction, and unifies the tasks of scene parsing and part parsing. For this…
