In this paper,\nwe propose to use scribbles to annotate images, and develop an algorithm to\ntrain convolutional networks for semantic segmentation supervised by scribbles.\nOur algorithm is based on a graphical model that jointly propagates information\nfrom scribbles to unmarked pixels and learns network parameters. We present\ncompetitive object semantic segmentation results on the PASCAL VOC dataset by\nusing scribbles as annotations. Scribbles are also favored for annotating stuff\n(e.g., water, sky, grass) that has no well-defined shape, and our method shows\nexcellent results on the PASCAL-CONTEXT dataset thanks to extra inexpensive\nscribble annotations.
