Revisiting Mask Transformer from a Clustering Perspective

Posted by Qihang Yu, Student Researcher, and Liang-Chieh Chen, Research Scientist, Google Research

Panoptic segmentation is a computer vision problem that serves as a core task for many real-world applications. Due to its complexity, previous work often divides panoptic segmentation into semantic segmentation (assigning semantic labels, such as “person” and “sky”, to every pixel in an image) and instance segmentation (identifying and segmenting only countable objects, such as “pedestrians” and “cars”, in an image), and further divides it into …
