Semantic Segmentation
- Semantic segmentation involves assigning a class label to each pixel in the image
- The goal is to consider the full scene context, including object classes, location, and shape of all scene elements including the background
- A fully convolutional approach can be used to predict classes for all pixels simultaneously, resulting in superior performance
Detection and Segmentation
- Object detection involves assigning a bounding box to each object in the image
- Instance segmentation involves assigning a unique label to each instance of an object in the image
- Panoptic segmentation involves assigning a class label to each pixel in the image, and differentiating between different instances of the same class
