• Authors: Yuqing Wang, Zhaoliang Xu, Hao Shen, Baoshan Cheng, Lirong Yang
• Abstract summary: We propose a single-shot instance segmentation method, which is simple, fast and accurate. The proposed CenterMask achieves 34.5 mask AP with a speed of 12.3 fps, using a single-model with single-scale training/testing. Our method can be easily embedded to other one-stage object detectors such as FCOS and performs well.

• Abstract: In this paper, we propose a single-shot instance segmentation method, which is simple, fast and accurate. There are two main challenges for one-stage instance segmentation: object instances differentiation and pixel-wise feature alignment. Accordingly, we decompose the instance segmentation into two parallel subtasks: Local Shape prediction that separates instances even in overlapping conditions, and Global Saliency generation that segments the whole image in a pixel-to-pixel manner. The outputs of the two branches are assembled to form the final instance masks. To realize that, the local shape information is adopted from the representation of object center points. Totally trained from scratch and without any bells and whistles, the proposed CenterMask achieves 34.5 mask AP with a speed of 12.3 fps, using a single-model with single-scale training/testing on the challenging COCO dataset. The accuracy is higher than all other one-stage instance segmentation methods except the 5 times slower TensorMask, which shows the effectiveness of CenterMask. Besides, our method can be easily embedded to other one-stage object detectors such as FCOS and performs well, showing the generalization of CenterMask.

  We show that we can leverage generic Transformer building blocks to directly predict instance masks from 3D point clouds. Using Transformer decoders, the instance queries are learned by iteratively attending to point cloud features at multiple scales. Mask3D sets a new state-of-the-art on ScanNet test (+6.2 mAP), S3DIS 6-fold (+10.1 mAP),LS3D (+11.2 mAP) and ScanNet200 test (+12.4 mAP)

  We propose a fast single-stage instance segmentation method called SipMask. It preserves instance-specific spatial information by separating mask prediction of an instance to different sub-regions of a detected bounding-box. In terms of real-time capabilities, SipMask outperforms YOLACT with an absolute gain of 3.0% (mask AP) under similar settings.

• Mask Encoding for Single Shot Instance Segmentation [97.99956029224622]
  We propose a simple singleshot instance segmentation framework, termed mask encoding based instance segmentation (MEInst) Instead of predicting the two-dimensional mask directly, MEInst distills it into a compact and fixed-dimensional representation vector. We show that the much simpler and flexible one-stage instance segmentation method, can also achieve competitive performance.

  Mask representation in instance segmentation with Point-of-Interest (PoI) features is challenging because learning a high-dimensional mask feature for each instance requires a heavy computing burden. We propose an instance-aware convolution, which decomposes this mask representation learning task into two tractable modules. Along with instance-aware convolution, we propose PointINS, a simple and practical instance segmentation approach.

  In this work, we achieve improved mask prediction by effectively combining instance-level information with semantic information with lower-level fine-granularity. Our main contribution is a blender module which draws inspiration from both top-down and bottom-up instance segmentation approaches. BlendMask can effectively predict dense per-pixel position-sensitive instance features with very few channels, and learn attention maps for each instance with merely one convolution layer.
