Most of the current solutions rely on deep convolutional\nneural networks but despite this fact proposed solutions are very diverse. Some\nsolutions approach the problem as a network problem, where they use several\nnetworks or specialize a single network to solve several tasks. A different\napproach tries to solve the problem as an annotation problem, where the\ninstance information is encoded in a mathematical representation. This work\nproposes a solution based in the DCME technique to solve the instance\nsegmentation with a single segmentation network. Different from others, the\nsegmentation network decoder is not specialized in a multi-task network.\nInstead, the network encoder is repurposed to classify image objects, reducing\nthe computational cost of the solution.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1902.05498v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1902.05498v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"instance-segmentation-as-image-segmentation","repo_url":"https://github.com/usp-lrm/dcme","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"caffe2","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"decoder","task_name":"Decoder"},{"task_slug":"image-segmentation","task_name":"Image Segmentation"},{"task_slug":"instance-segmentation","task_name":"Instance Segmentation"},{"task_slug":"segmentation","task_name":"Segmentation"},{"task_slug":"semantic-segmentation","task_name":"Semantic Segmentation"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
