As a proposal-free approach, instance segmentation through pixel embedding learning and clustering is gaining more emphasis. Compared with bounding box refinement approaches, such as Mask R-CNN, it has potential advantages in handling complex shapes and dense objects. In this work, we propose a simple, yet highly effective, architecture for object-aware embedding learning. A distance regression module is incorporated into our architecture to generate seeds for fast clustering. At the same time, we show that the features learned by the distance regression module are able to promote the accuracy of learned object-aware embeddings significantly. By simply concatenating features of the distance regression module to the images as inputs of the embedding module, the mSBD scores on the CVPPP Leaf Segmentation Challenge can be further improved by more than 8% compared to the identical set-up without concatenation, yielding the best overall result amongst the leaderboard at CodaLab.

Instance segmentation methods often require costly per-pixel labels. We propose a method that only requires point-level annotations. During training, the model only has access to a single pixel label per object, yet the task is to output full segment
ation masks. To address this challenge, we construct a network with two branches: (1) a localization network (L-Net) that predicts the location of each object; and (2) an embedding network (E-Net) that learns an embedding space where pixels of the same object are close. The segmentation masks for the located objects are obtained by grouping pixels with similar embeddings. At training time, while L-Net only requires point-level annotations, E-Net uses pseudo-labels generated by a class-agnostic object proposal method. We evaluate our approach on PASCAL VOC, COCO, KITTI and CityScapes datasets. The experiments show that our method (1) obtains competitive results compared to fully-supervised methods in certain scenarios; (2) outperforms fully- and weakly- supervised methods with a fixed annotation budget; and (3) is a first strong baseline for instance segmentation with point-level supervision.
Instance segmentation is a promising yet challenging topic in computer vision. Recent approaches such as Mask R-CNN typically divide this problem into two parts -- a detection component and a mask generation branch, and mostly focus on the improvemen
t of the detection part. In this paper, we present an approach that extends Mask R-CNN with five novel optimization techniques for improving the mask generation branch and reducing the conflicts between the mask branch and the detection component in training. These five techniques are independent to each other and can be flexibly utilized in building various instance segmentation architectures for increasing the overall accuracy. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach with tests on the COCO dataset.
Current instance segmentation methods can be categorized into segmentation-based methods that segment first then do clustering, and proposal-based methods that detect first then predict masks for each instance proposal using repooling. In this work,
we propose a one-stage method, named EmbedMask, that unifies both methods by taking advantages of them. Like proposal-based methods, EmbedMask builds on top of detection models making it strong in detection capability. Meanwhile, EmbedMask applies extra embedding modules to generate embeddings for pixels and proposals, where pixel embeddings are guided by proposal embeddings if they belong to the same instance. Through this embedding coupling process, pixels are assigned to the mask of the proposal if their embeddings are similar. The pixel-level clustering enables EmbedMask to generate high-resolution masks without missing details from repooling, and the existence of proposal embedding simplifies and strengthens the clustering procedure to achieve high speed with higher performance than segmentation-based methods. Without any bells and whistles, EmbedMask achieves comparable performance as Mask R-CNN, which is the representative two-stage method, and can produce more detailed masks at a higher speed.

In this paper, we propose a new image instance segmentation method that segments individual glands (instances) in colon histology images. This is a task called instance segmentation that has recently become increasingly important. The problem is chal
lenging since not only do the glands need to be segmented from the complex background, they are also required to be individually identified. Here we leverage the idea of image-to-image prediction in recent deep learning by building a framework that automatically exploits and fuses complex multichannel information, regional and boundary patterns, with side supervision (deep supervision on side responses) in gland histology images. Our proposed system, deep multichannel side supervision (DMCS), alleviates heavy feature design due to the use of convolutional neural networks guided by side supervision. Compared to methods reported in the 2015 MICCAI Gland Segmentation Challenge, we observe state-of-the-art results based on a number of evaluation metrics.
Most existing point cloud instance and semantic segmentation methods rely heavily on strong supervision signals, which require point-level labels for every point in the scene. However, such strong supervision suffers from large annotation costs, arou
sing the need to study efficient annotating. In this paper, we discover that the locations of instances matter for 3D scene segmentation. By fully taking the advantages of locations, we design a weakly supervised point cloud segmentation algorithm that only requires clicking on one point per instance to indicate its location for annotation. With over-segmentation for pre-processing, we extend these location annotations into segments as seg-level labels. We further design a segment grouping network (SegGroup) to generate pseudo point-level labels under seg-level labels by hierarchically grouping the unlabeled segments into the relevant nearby labeled segments, so that existing point-level supervised segmentation models can directly consume these pseudo labels for training. Experimental results show that our seg-level supervised method (SegGroup) achieves comparable results with the fully annotated point-level supervised methods. Moreover, it also outperforms the recent weakly supervised methods given a fixed annotation budget.
