• Title: A Comprehensive Review of Modern Object Segmentation Approaches
• Authors: Yuanbo Wang, Unaiza Ahsan, Hanyan Li, Matthew Hagen
• Abstract summary: Image segmentation is the task of associating pixels in an image with their respective object class labels. Deep learning-based approaches have been developed for image-level object recognition and pixel-level scene understanding. Extensions of image segmentation tasks include 3D and video segmentation, where units of vox point clouds, and video frames are classified into different objects.

• Abstract: Image segmentation is the task of associating pixels in an image with their respective object class labels. It has a wide range of applications in many industries including healthcare, transportation, robotics, fashion, home improvement, and tourism. Many deep learning-based approaches have been developed for image-level object recognition and pixel-level scene understanding-with the latter requiring a much denser annotation of scenes with a large set of objects. Extensions of image segmentation tasks include 3D and video segmentation, where units of voxels, point clouds, and video frames are classified into different objects. We use "Object Segmentation" to refer to the union of these segmentation tasks. In this monograph, we investigate both traditional and modern object segmentation approaches, comparing their strengths, weaknesses, and utilities. We examine in detail the wide range of deep learning-based segmentation techniques developed in recent years, provide a review of the widely used datasets and evaluation metrics, and discuss potential future research directions.

• Sketch-based Video Object Segmentation: Benchmark and Analysis [55.79497833614397]
  This paper introduces a new task of sketch-based video object segmentation, an associated benchmark, and a strong baseline. Our benchmark includes three datasets, Sketch-DAVIS16, Sketch-DAVIS17 and Sketch-YouTube-VOS, which exploit human-drawn sketches as an informative yet low-cost reference for video object segmentation. Experimental results show sketch is more effective yet annotation-efficient than other references, such as photo masks, language and scribble.

• Towards Open-World Segmentation of Parts [16.056921233445784]
  We propose to explore a class-agnostic part segmentation task. We argue that models trained without part classes can better localize parts and segment them on objects unseen in training. We show notable and consistent gains by our approach, essentially a critical step towards open-world part segmentation.

Our method can directly segment objects of arbitrary categories, outperforming zero-shot segmentation methods that require data labeling on three benchmark datasets.

  We describe an unsupervised method to detect and segment portions of images of live scenes that are seen moving as a coherent whole. Our method first partitions the motion field by minimizing the mutual information between segments. It uses the segments to learn object models that can be used for detection in a static image.
