Semantic amodal segmentation is a recently proposed extension to instance-aware segmentation that includes the prediction of the invisible region of each object instance. We present the first all-in-one end-to-end trainable model for…

We address the problem of discovering part segmentations of articulated objects without supervision. In contrast to keypoints, part segmentations provide information about part localizations on the level of individual pixels. Capturing both…

Most instance segmentation models are not end-to-end trainable due to either the incorporation of proposal estimation (RPN) as a pre-processing or non-maximum suppression (NMS) as a post-processing. Here we propose a novel end-to-end…
