Abstract:
A weakly supervised image semantic segmentation method based on an intra-class discriminator includes: constructing two levels of intra-class discriminators for each image-level class to determine whether pixels belonging to the image class belong to a target foreground or a background, and using weakly supervised data for training; generating a pixel-level image class label based on the two levels of intra-class discriminators, and generating and outputting a semantic segmentation result; and further training an image semantic segmentation module or network by using the label to obtain a final semantic segmentation model for an unlabeled input image. By means of the new method, intra-class image information implied in a feature code is fully mined, foreground and background pixels are accurately distinguished, and performance of a weakly supervised semantic segmentation model is significantly improved under the condition of only relying on an image-level annotation.
