Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for performing instance segmentation by detecting and segmenting individual objects in an image. In one aspect, a method comprises: processing an image to generate data identifying a region of the image that depicts a particular object; obtaining data defining a plurality of example object segmentations; generating a respective weight value for each of the example object segmentations; for each of a plurality of pixels in the region of the image, determining a score characterizing a likelihood that the pixel is included in the particular object depicted in the region of the image using: (i) the example object segmentations, and (ii) the weight values for the example object segmentations; and generating a segmentation of the particular object depicted in the region of the image using the scores for the pixels in the region of the image.
