    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes a computing system accessing a training image. The system may generate a feature map for the training image using a first neural network. The system may identify a region of interest in the feature map and generate a regional feature map for the region of interest based on sampling locations defined by a sampling region. The sampling region and the region of interest may correspond to the same region in the feature map. The system may generate an instance segmentation mask associated with the region of interest by processing the regional feature map using a second neural network. The second neural network may be trained using the instance segmentation mask. Once trained, the second neural network is configured to generate instance segmentation masks for object instances depicted in images.
