基于点标注的弱监督实例分割

Instance Segmentation Using Points

  • 摘要: 实例分割,又名同时检测和分割(simultaneous detection and segmentation),需要标注像素级别的实例掩膜用于训练。然而,这种标注工作需要非常细致的人力劳动,费时费力。本论文提出只使用每个目标实例的单点标注,使得标注成本大大降低。本文提出的模型包括两个模块:基于外观信息和相邻包围框投票的框校验模块,以及基于推断掩膜的上下文信息的区块校验模块。这种设计保留了像素级别的实例信息,有助于抑制单纯图像分割模型训练过程中的误差累积。本文使用弱监督和半监督训练的实验来验证本工作的有效性,比现有方法取得更高的实例分割性能。

     

    Abstract: Instance segmentation, also known as simultaneous detection and segmentation (SDS) requires pixel-level instance masks during training. It makes data preparation for mask annotation a labor-intensive task. In this paper, we only use a one-point label for each object instance, which is easy to draw. Our training consists of box verification, which is based on appearance and voting of neighboring boxes, and segment verification on context information of proposal masks. This structure preserves pixel-wise instance information and helps prevent error accumulation compared with trivially training a single segmentation model iteratively. We conduct weakly- and semi-supervised experiments to manifest that this design is effective. Our approach surpasses the state-of-the-art methods.
