Abstract
A method and a system for generating training images for training an instance segmentation machine learning algorithm (MLA). A set of image-level labelled images are received, where a given image is labelled with a label indicative of a presence of an object having an object class in the image. A classification MLA detects the object having the object class in each image. A class activation map (CAM) indicative of discriminative regions used by the classification MLA for detecting the object in each image is generated. A region proposal MLA is used to generate region proposals for each image. A pseudo mask of the respective object is generated based on the region proposals and the CAM, where a pseudo mask is indicative of pixels corresponding to the respective object class. The pseudo masks are used as a label with the image-level labelled images for training the instance segmentation MLA.
