Abstract
We present a conceptually simple, flexible, and general framework for object instance segmentation. Our approach efficiently detects objects in an image while simultaneously generating a high-quality segmentation mask for each instance. The method, called Mask R-CNN, extends Faster R-CNN by adding a branch for predicting an object mask in parallel with the existing branch for bounding box recognition. Mask R-CNN is simple to train and adds only a small overhead to Faster R-CNN, running at 5 fps. Moreover, Mask R-CNN is easy to generalize to other tasks, e.g., allowing us to estimate human poses in the same framework. We show top results in all three tracks of the COCO suite of challenges, including instance segmentation, bounding-box object detection, and person keypoint detection. Without tricks, Mask R-CNN outperforms all existing, single-model entries on every task, including the COCO 2016 challenge winners. We hope our simple and effective approach will serve as a solid baseline and help ease future research in instance-level recognition. Code will be made available.

Non-local Neural Networks

TL;DR: In this article, a non-local operation computes the response at a position as a weighted sum of the features at all positions, which can be used to capture long-range dependencies.

PReMVOS: Proposal-Generation, Refinement and Merging for Video Object Segmentation

TL;DR: This work addresses semi-supervised video object segmentation, the task of automatically generating accurate and consistent pixel masks for objects in a video sequence, given the first-frame ground truth annotations, with the PReMVOS algorithm.

Rethinking on Multi-Stage Networks for Human Pose Estimation.

TL;DR: This work argues that the current multi-stage methods' unsatisfactory performance comes from the insufficiency in various design choices, and proposes several improvements, including the single-stage module design, cross stage feature aggregation, and coarse-to-fine supervision.

Learning Shape-Aware Embedding for Scene Text Detection

TL;DR: This work treats text detection as instance segmentation and proposes a segmentation-based framework, which extracts each text instance as an independent connected component and maps pixels onto an embedding space to distinguish different text instances.

ImageNet Classification with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks

TL;DR: The state-of-the-art performance of CNNs was achieved by Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) as discussed by the authors, which consists of five convolutional layers, some of which are followed by max-pooling layers, and three fully-connected layers with a final 1000-way softmax.
