Instance Segmentation

Perform instance segmentation using pretrained deep learning networks and train networks using transfer learning on custom data

Instance segmentation is a computer vision technique that plays a crucial role in tasks requiring precise object localization and the identification of individual object instances, such as in medical imaging and autonomous driving. By combining the principles of object detection and semantic segmentation, instance segmentation provides a more refined understanding of visual data by identifying individual object instances and delineating their boundaries pixel-by-pixel. Use instance segmentation to precisely identify, classify, and separate individual objects within an image.

You can run inference on an image using a pretrained deep learning network, or perform transfer learning, an approach that enables you to start with a pretrained network and then train it on custom data set for your application. To generate ground truth data for training, you can use the Image Labeler, Video Labeler, or Ground Truth Labeler (Automated Driving Toolbox) app to interactively label pixels and export label data. Instance segmentation requires Deep Learning Toolbox™. Training and inference support CUDA®-enabled GPU. Use of a GPU is recommended, and requires Parallel Computing Toolbox™. For more information, see Parallel Computing Support in MathWorks Products (Parallel Computing Toolbox).
