A major obstacle in instance segmentation is that existing methods often need many per-pixel labels in order to be effective. These labels require large human effort and for certain applications, such labels are not readily available. To…
Video instance segmentation (VIS) is a challenging vision task that aims to detect, segment, and track objects in videos. Conventional VIS methods rely on densely-annotated object masks which are expensive. We reduce the human annotations…
