Abstract:

Based on image contour, the instance segmentation method uses fewer contour nodes to represent an object, which effectively reduces the number of algorithmic parameters and improves its operation efficiency. However, with the segmentation result of poor quality, it is no match for traditional pixel-by-pixel processing segmentation algorithm in terms of accuracy. To improve the accuracy of the algorithm, it is of great necessity to introduce a refined model of the instance segmentation (Attend the Contour snake,AC-snake), which is based on image contour with a combination of attention mechanism. An improved Largekernel+ is added to the backbone network to improve the receptive field of the model and extract richer feature information. The network structure at the contour vertex deformation stage is improved, and the Dual Channel attention (DC-attentio) module is combined to enhance the effective information of contour vertex, reduce the invalid parameters in the training network, and improve the detection accuracy and training speed. The experimental results show that in Cityscapes validation data set, the improved model proposed in this study has improved performance when compared with the original model.

Key words: instance segmentation, image contour, contour node, pre-pixel, attention meachanism, large kernel, receptive field, feature information
