New method uses bounding boxes to improve instance segmentation accuracy

Researchers have developed a novel pipeline for instance segmentation that efficiently utilizes both expensive pixel-wise labels and cheaper bounding box labels. The method incorporates two auxiliary models designed to suppress label noise, specifically distinguishing foreground from background and correcting mislabeled instances. By employing category-aware spatial attention, category constraints, instance constraints, and a self-learning approach, the system generates accurate pseudo pixel-wise labels from bounding box annotations, significantly reducing labeling costs while maintaining competitive performance on datasets like PASCAL VOC 2012 and Cityscapes. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient data labeling for computer vision tasks, potentially accelerating the development of AI systems that rely on accurate object recognition.

    Hybrid supervised instance segmentation by learning label noise suppression

    arXiv:2610.20412v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: To reach top accuracy, current fully supervised instance segmentation methods severely rely on large-scale pixel-wise labeled datasets. They are usually expensive and time-consuming to obtain. Though weakly or semi-supervised method…
