Learning to See the Invisible: End-to-End Trainable Amodal Instance Segmentation
Semantic amodal segmentation is a recently proposed extension to instance-aware segmentation that includes the prediction of the invisible region of each object instance. We present the first all-in-one end-to-end trainable model for semantic amodal segmentation that predicts the amodal instance masks as well as their visible and invisible part in a single forward pass. In a detailed analysis, we provide experiments to show which architecture choices are beneficial for an all-in-one amodal segmentation model. On the COCO amodal dataset, our model outperforms the current baseline for amodal segmentation by a large margin. To further evaluate our model, we provide two new datasets with ground truth for semantic amodal segmentation, D2S amodal and COCOA cls. For both datasets, our model provides a strong baseline performance. Using special data augmentation techniques, we show that amodal segmentation on D2S amodal is possible with reasonable performance, even without providing amodal training data.
