Abstract
Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“Image segmentation refers to a variety of different technique s for grouping portions of a digital imageinto particular groups or segments. S pecific techniques for image segmentation are referred to as typesof segmentati on tasks. For example, a semantic segmentation task assigns a class label to eac h pixelof the digital image whereas an instance segmentation task classifies in stances of objects depicted in thedigital image. In this example, if the digita l image depicts two cat objects, then performing the semanticsegmentation task assigns pixels of each of the cat objects with a same class label of “cat” and p erformingthe instance segmentation task classifies one cat object as “cat1” and the other cat object as “cat2.””
