Despite significant efforts, cutting-edge video segmentation methods still remain sensitive to occlusion and rapid movement, due to their reliance on the appearance of objects in the form of object embeddings, which are vulnerable to these…
We propose a novel solution for semi-supervised video object segmentation. By the nature of the problem, available cues (e.g. video frame(s) with object masks) become richer with the intermediate predictions. However, the existing methods…
Recently, Space-Time Memory Network (STM) based methods have achieved state-of-the-art performance in semi-supervised video object segmentation (VOS). A crucial problem in this task is how to model the dependency both among different frames…
Object permanence in humans is a fundamental cue that helps in understanding persistence of objects, even when they are fully occluded in the scene. Present day methods in object segmentation do not account for this amodal nature of the…
Existing video instance segmentation (VIS) approaches generally follow a closed-world assumption, where only seen category instances are identified and spatio-temporally segmented at inference. Open-world formulation relaxes the close-world…
Recent state-of-the-art one-stage instance segmentation model SOLO divides the input image into a grid and directly predicts per grid cell object masks with fully-convolutional networks, yielding comparably good performance as traditional…
Image segmentation is the task of associating pixels in an image with their respective object class labels. It has a wide range of applications in many industries including healthcare, transportation, robotics, fashion, home improvement,…
The problem of video object segmentation can become extremely challenging when multiple instances co-exist. While each instance may exhibit large scale and pose variations, the problem is compounded when instances occlude each other causing…
