近年来对目标细分研究有了很大的进步。除了通用物体外，水生动物也引起了研究的关注。基于深度学习的方法广泛用于水生动物细分，并取得了有希望的表现。但是，缺乏基准测试的具有挑战性的数据集。因此，我们创建了一个被称为“水生动物物种”的新数据集。此外，我们设计了一种新的基于多模式的场景感知分段框架，其利用多个视图分段模型的优点，以有效地分段为水生动物的图像。为了提高培训表现，我们开发了一个引导的混合增强方法。广泛的实验比较了具有最先进的实例分段方法的提出框架的性能，证明了我们的方法是有效的，并且它显着优于现有方法。

Building instance segmentation models that are dataefficient and can handle rare object categories is an important challenge in computer vision. Leveraging data augmentations is a promising direction towards addressing this challenge. Here, we perform a systematic study of the Copy-Paste augmentation (e.g., [13,12]) for instance segmentation where we randomly paste objects onto an image. Prior studies on Copy-Paste relied on modeling the surrounding visual context for pasting the objects. However, we find that the simple mechanism of pasting objects randomly is good enough and can provide solid gains on top of strong baselines. Furthermore, we show Copy-Paste is additive with semi-supervised methods that leverage extra data through pseudo labeling (e.g. self-training). On COCO instance segmentation, we achieve 49.1 mask AP and 57.3 box AP, an improvement of +0.6 mask AP and +1.5 box AP over the previous state-of-the-art. We further demonstrate that Copy-Paste can lead to significant improvements on the LVIS benchmark. Our baseline model outperforms the LVIS 2020 Challenge winning entry by +3.6 mask AP on rare categories.

许多开放世界应用程序需要检测新的对象，但最先进的对象检测和实例分段网络在此任务中不屈服。关键问题在于他们假设没有任何注释的地区应被抑制为否定，这教导了将未经讨犯的对象视为背景的模型。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了一个简单但令人惊讶的强大的数据增强和培训方案，我们呼唤学习来检测每件事（LDET）。为避免抑制隐藏的对象，背景对象可见但未标记，我们粘贴在从原始图像的小区域采样的背景图像上粘贴带有的注释对象。由于仅对这种综合增强的图像培训遭受域名，我们将培训与培训分为两部分：1）培训区域分类和回归头在增强图像上，2）在原始图像上训练掩模头。通过这种方式，模型不学习将隐藏对象作为背景分类，同时概括到真实图像。 LDET导致开放式世界实例分割任务中的许多数据集的重大改进，表现出CoCo上的交叉类别概括的基线，以及对UVO和城市的交叉数据集评估。

In this paper we present a new computer vision task, named video instance segmentation. The goal of this new task is simultaneous detection, segmentation and tracking of instances in videos. In words, it is the first time that the image instance segmentation problem is extended to the video domain. To facilitate research on this new task, we propose a large-scale benchmark called YouTube-VIS, which consists of 2,883 high-resolution YouTube videos, a 40-category label set and 131k high-quality instance masks.In addition, we propose a novel algorithm called Mask-Track R-CNN for this task. Our new method introduces a new tracking branch to Mask R-CNN to jointly perform the detection, segmentation and tracking tasks simultaneously. Finally, we evaluate the proposed method and several strong baselines on our new dataset. Experimental results clearly demonstrate the advantages of the proposed algorithm and reveal insight for future improvement. We believe the video instance segmentation task will motivate the community along the line of research for video understanding.

Cascade is a classic yet powerful architecture that has boosted performance on various tasks. However, how to introduce cascade to instance segmentation remains an open question. A simple combination of Cascade R-CNN and Mask R-CNN only brings limited gain. In exploring a more effective approach, we find that the key to a successful instance segmentation cascade is to fully leverage the reciprocal relationship between detection and segmentation. In this work, we propose a new framework, Hybrid Task Cascade (HTC), which differs in two important aspects: (1) instead of performing cascaded refinement on these two tasks separately, it interweaves them for a joint multi-stage processing; (2) it adopts a fully convolutional branch to provide spatial context, which can help distinguishing hard foreground from cluttered background. Overall, this framework can learn more discriminative features progressively while integrating complementary features together in each stage. Without bells and whistles, a single HTC obtains 38.4% and 1.5% improvement over a strong Cascade Mask R-CNN baseline on MSCOCO dataset. Moreover, our overall system achieves 48.6 mask AP on the test-challenge split, ranking 1st in the COCO 2018 Challenge Object Detection Task.

本文提出了一种用于对象和场景的高质量图像分割的新方法。灵感来自于形态学图像处理技术中的扩张和侵蚀操作，像素级图像分割问题被视为挤压对象边界。从这个角度来看，提出了一种新颖且有效的\ textBF {边界挤压}模块。该模块用于从内侧和外侧方向挤压对象边界，这有助于精确掩模表示。提出了双向基于流的翘曲过程来产生这种挤压特征表示，并且设计了两个特定的损耗信号以监控挤压过程。边界挤压模块可以通过构建一些现有方法构建作为即插即用模块，可以轻松应用于实例和语义分段任务。此外，所提出的模块是重量的，因此具有实际使用的潜力。实验结果表明，我们简单但有效的设计可以在几个不同的数据集中产生高质量的结果。此外，边界上的其他几个指标用于证明我们对以前的工作中的方法的有效性。我们的方法对实例和语义分割的具有利于Coco和CityCapes数据集来产生重大改进，并且在相同的设置下以前的最先进的速度优于先前的最先进的速度。代码和模型将在\ url {https:/github.com/lxtgh/bsseg}发布。

精确的仪器分割辅助外科医生更容易导航身体并提高患者安全性。虽然在实时的准确跟踪外科手术仪器在微创的计算机辅助手术中起着至关重要的作用，但这是一个具有挑战性的任务，主要是由于1个复杂的外科环境和2）模型设计，具有最佳的精度和速度。深度学习使我们有机会从大型手术场景环境和在现实世界的情景中学习复杂的环境和这些仪器的展示位置。稳健的医疗仪器分割2019挑战（鲁棒MIS）在不同的临床环境中提供了超过10,000帧的手术工具。在本文中，我们使用轻量级单级实例分段模型，辅助卷积块注意模块，用于实现更快和准确的推理。我们通过数据增强和最佳锚定本地化策略进一步提高了准确性。据我们所知，这是第一个明确关注实时性能和提高准确性的工作。我们在强大的策略中进行了彻底的最高团队表演，对基于区域的公制MI_DSC和距离的公制MI_DSD有超过44％。我们还展示了我们最终方法的不同但竞争变种的实时性能（> 60帧框架）。

Letting a deep network be aware of the quality of its own predictions is an interesting yet important problem. In the task of instance segmentation, the confidence of instance classification is used as mask quality score in most instance segmentation frameworks. However, the mask quality, quantified as the IoU between the instance mask and its ground truth, is usually not well correlated with classification score. In this paper, we study this problem and propose Mask Scoring R-CNN which contains a network block to learn the quality of the predicted instance masks. The proposed network block takes the instance feature and the corresponding predicted mask together to regress the mask IoU. The mask scoring strategy calibrates the misalignment between mask quality and mask score, and improves instance segmentation performance by prioritizing more accurate mask predictions during COCO AP evaluation. By extensive evaluations on the COCO dataset, Mask Scoring R-CNN brings consistent and noticeable gain with different models, and outperforms the state-of-the-art Mask R-CNN. We hope our simple and effective approach will provide a new direction for improving instance segmentation. The source code of our method is available at https:// github.com/zjhuang22/maskscoring_rcnn. * The work was done when Zhaojin Huang was an intern in Horizon Robotics Inc.

The human ear is generally universal, collectible, distinct, and permanent. Ear-based biometric recognition is a niche and recent approach that is being explored. For any ear-based biometric algorithm to perform well, ear detection and segmentation need to be accurately performed. While significant work has been done in existing literature for bounding boxes, a lack of approaches output a segmentation mask for ears. This paper trains and compares three newer models to the state-of-the-art MaskRCNN (ResNet 101 +FPN) model across four different datasets. The Average Precision (AP) scores reported show that the newer models outperform the state-of-the-art but no one model performs the best over multiple datasets.

In this paper, we aim to design an efficient real-time object detector that exceeds the YOLO series and is easily extensible for many object recognition tasks such as instance segmentation and rotated object detection. To obtain a more efficient model architecture, we explore an architecture that has compatible capacities in the backbone and neck, constructed by a basic building block that consists of large-kernel depth-wise convolutions. We further introduce soft labels when calculating matching costs in the dynamic label assignment to improve accuracy. Together with better training techniques, the resulting object detector, named RTMDet, achieves 52.8% AP on COCO with 300+ FPS on an NVIDIA 3090 GPU, outperforming the current mainstream industrial detectors. RTMDet achieves the best parameter-accuracy trade-off with tiny/small/medium/large/extra-large model sizes for various application scenarios, and obtains new state-of-the-art performance on real-time instance segmentation and rotated object detection. We hope the experimental results can provide new insights into designing versatile real-time object detectors for many object recognition tasks. Code and models are released at https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdetection/tree/3.x/configs/rtmdet.

本文制定了一个新问题，实例影子检测，旨在检测影子实例和关联的对象实例，这些实例在输入图像中投射每个阴影。为了完成此任务，我们首先编译了一个新的数据集，其中包含掩码，用于影子实例，对象实例和阴影对象关联。然后，我们设计了一个评估度量，以定量评估实例阴影检测的性能。此外，我们设计了一个单阶段检测器，以端到端的方式执行实例阴影检测，其中双向关系学习模块和可变形的maskiou头在检测器中提议直接学习阴影实例与对象实例之间的关系并提高预测口罩的准确性。最后，我们在实例阴影检测的基准数据集上进行定量和定性评估我们的方法，并在光方向估计和照片编辑中显示我们方法的适用性。

视频分析的图像分割在不同的研究领域起着重要作用，例如智能城市，医疗保健，计算机视觉和地球科学以及遥感应用。在这方面，最近致力于发展新的细分策略;最新的杰出成就之一是Panoptic细分。后者是由语义和实例分割的融合引起的。明确地，目前正在研究Panoptic细分，以帮助获得更多对视频监控，人群计数，自主驾驶，医学图像分析的图像场景的更细致的知识，以及一般对场景更深入的了解。为此，我们介绍了本文的首次全面审查现有的Panoptic分段方法，以获得作者的知识。因此，基于所采用的算法，应用场景和主要目标的性质，执行现有的Panoptic技术的明确定义分类。此外，讨论了使用伪标签注释新数据集的Panoptic分割。继续前进，进行消融研究，以了解不同观点的Panoptic方法。此外，讨论了适合于Panoptic分割的评估度量，并提供了现有解决方案性能的比较，以告知最先进的并识别其局限性和优势。最后，目前对主题技术面临的挑战和吸引不久的将来吸引相当兴趣的未来趋势，可以成为即将到来的研究研究的起点。提供代码的文件可用于：https：//github.com/elharroussomar/awesome-panoptic-egation

Open-World实例细分（OWIS）旨在从图像中分割类不足的实例，该图像具有广泛的现实应用程序，例如自主驾驶。大多数现有方法遵循两阶段的管道：首先执行类不足的检测，然后再进行特定于类的掩模分段。相比之下，本文提出了一个单阶段框架，以直接为每个实例生成掩码。另外，实例掩码注释在现有数据集中可能很吵。为了克服这个问题，我们引入了新的正规化损失。具体而言，我们首先训练一个额外的分支来执行预测前景区域的辅助任务（即属于任何对象实例的区域），然后鼓励辅助分支的预测与实例掩码的预测一致。关键的见解是，这种交叉任务一致性损失可以充当误差校正机制，以打击注释中的错误。此外，我们发现所提出的跨任务一致性损失可以应用于图像，而无需任何注释，将自己借给了半监督的学习方法。通过广泛的实验，我们证明了所提出的方法可以在完全监督和半监督的设置中获得令人印象深刻的结果。与SOTA方法相比，所提出的方法将$ ap_ {100} $得分提高了4.75 \％\％\％\ rightarrow $ uvo设置和4.05 \％\％\％\％\％\％\ rightarrow $ uvo设置。在半监督学习的情况下，我们的模型仅使用30 \％标记的数据学习，甚至超过了其完全监督的数据，并具有5​​0 \％标记的数据。该代码将很快发布。

大多数最先进的实例级人类解析模型都采用了两阶段的基于锚的探测器，因此无法避免启发式锚盒设计和像素级别缺乏分析。为了解决这两个问题，我们设计了一个实例级人类解析网络，该网络在像素级别上无锚固且可解决。它由两个简单的子网络组成：一个用于边界框预测的无锚检测头和一个用于人体分割的边缘引导解析头。无锚探测器的头继承了像素样的优点，并有效地避免了对象检测应用中证明的超参数的敏感性。通过引入部分感知的边界线索，边缘引导的解析头能够将相邻的人类部分与彼此区分开，最多可在一个人类实例中，甚至重叠的实例。同时，利用了精炼的头部整合盒子级别的分数和部分分析质量，以提高解析结果的质量。在两个多个人类解析数据集（即CIHP和LV-MHP-V2.0）和一个视频实例级人类解析数据集（即VIP）上进行实验，表明我们的方法实现了超过全球级别和实例级别的性能最新的一阶段自上而下的替代方案。

In this paper, we introduce an anchor-box free and single shot instance segmentation method, which is conceptually simple, fully convolutional and can be used by easily embedding it into most off-the-shelf detection methods. Our method, termed PolarMask, formulates the instance segmentation problem as predicting contour of instance through instance center classification and dense distance regression in a polar coordinate. Moreover, we propose two effective approaches to deal with sampling high-quality center examples and optimization for dense distance regression, respectively, which can significantly improve the performance and simplify the training process. Without any bells and whistles, PolarMask achieves 32.9% in mask mAP with single-model and single-scale training/testing on the challenging COCO dataset.For the first time, we show that the complexity of instance segmentation, in terms of both design and computation complexity, can be the same as bounding box object detection and this much simpler and flexible instance segmentation framework can achieve competitive accuracy. We hope that the proposed PolarMask framework can serve as a fundamental and strong baseline for single shot instance segmentation task. Code is available at: github.com/xieenze/PolarMask.

In object detection, the intersection over union (IoU) threshold is frequently used to define positives/negatives. The threshold used to train a detector defines its quality. While the commonly used threshold of 0.5 leads to noisy (low-quality) detections, detection performance frequently degrades for larger thresholds. This paradox of high-quality detection has two causes: 1) overfitting, due to vanishing positive samples for large thresholds, and 2) inference-time quality mismatch between detector and test hypotheses. A multi-stage object detection architecture, the Cascade R-CNN, composed of a sequence of detectors trained with increasing IoU thresholds, is proposed to address these problems. The detectors are trained sequentially, using the output of a detector as training set for the next. This resampling progressively improves hypotheses quality, guaranteeing a positive training set of equivalent size for all detectors and minimizing overfitting. The same cascade is applied at inference, to eliminate quality mismatches between hypotheses and detectors. An implementation of the Cascade R-CNN without bells or whistles achieves state-of-the-art performance on the COCO dataset, and significantly improves high-quality detection on generic and specific object detection datasets, including VOC, KITTI, CityPerson, and WiderFace. Finally, the Cascade R-CNN is generalized to instance segmentation, with nontrivial improvements over the Mask R-CNN. To facilitate future research, two implementations are made available at https://github.com/zhaoweicai/cascade-rcnn (Caffe) and https://github.com/zhaoweicai/Detectron-Cascade-RCNN (Detectron).

现有的实例分割方法已经达到了令人印象深刻的表现，但仍遭受了共同的困境：一个实例推断出冗余表示（例如，多个框，网格和锚点），这导致了多个重复的预测。因此，主流方法通常依赖于手工设计的非最大抑制（NMS）后处理步骤来选择最佳预测结果，这会阻碍端到端训练。为了解决此问题，我们建议一个称为Uniinst的无盒和无端机实例分割框架，该框架仅对每个实例产生一个唯一的表示。具体而言，我们设计了一种实例意识到的一对一分配方案，即仅产生一个表示（Oyor），该方案根据预测和地面真相之间的匹配质量，动态地为每个实例动态分配一个独特的表示。然后，一种新颖的预测重新排列策略被优雅地集成到框架中，以解决分类评分和掩盖质量之间的错位，从而使学习的表示形式更具歧视性。借助这些技术，我们的Uniinst，第一个基于FCN的盒子和无NMS实例分段框架，实现竞争性能，例如，使用Resnet-50-FPN和40.2 mask AP使用Resnet-101-FPN，使用Resnet-50-FPN和40.2 mask AP，使用Resnet-101-FPN，对抗AP可可测试-DEV的主流方法。此外，提出的实例感知方法对于遮挡场景是可靠的，在重锁定的ochuman基准上，通过杰出的掩码AP优于公共基线。我们的代码将在出版后提供。

分割高度重叠的图像对象是具有挑战性的，因为图像上的真实对象轮廓和遮挡边界之间通常没有区别。与先前的实例分割方法不同，我们将图像形成模拟为两个重叠层的组成，并提出了双层卷积网络（BCNET），其中顶层检测到遮挡对象（遮挡器），而底层则渗透到部分闭塞实例（胶囊）。遮挡关系与双层结构的显式建模自然地将遮挡和遮挡实例的边界解散，并在掩模回归过程中考虑了它们之间的相互作用。我们使用两种流行的卷积网络设计（即完全卷积网络（FCN）和图形卷积网络（GCN））研究了双层结构的功效。此外，我们通过将图像中的实例表示为单独的可学习封闭器和封闭者查询，从而使用视觉变压器（VIT）制定双层解耦。使用一个/两个阶段和基于查询的对象探测器具有各种骨架和网络层选择验证双层解耦合的概括能力，如图像实例分段基准（可可，亲戚，可可）和视频所示实例分割基准（YTVIS，OVIS，BDD100K MOTS），特别是对于重闭塞病例。代码和数据可在https://github.com/lkeab/bcnet上找到。

基于高质量标签的鱼类跟踪和细分的DNN很昂贵。替代无监督的方法取决于视频数据中自然发生的空间和时间变化来生成嘈杂的伪界图标签。这些伪标签用于训练多任务深神经网络。在本文中，我们提出了一个三阶段的框架，用于强大的鱼类跟踪和分割，其中第一阶段是光流模型，该模型使用帧之间的空间和时间一致性生成伪标签。在第二阶段，一个自我监督的模型会逐步完善伪标签。在第三阶段，精制标签用于训练分割网络。在培训或推理期间没有使用人类注释。进行了广泛的实验来验证我们在三个公共水下视频数据集中的方法，并证明它对视频注释和细分非常有效。我们还评估框架对不同成像条件的鲁棒性，并讨论当前实施的局限性。
