Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods and systems for performing instance segmentation that can provide improved estimation of object boundaries. Implementations can include a machine-learned segmentation model trained to estimate an initial object boundary based on a truncated signed distance function (TSDF) generated by the model. The model can also generate outputs for optimizing the TSDF over a series of iterations to produce a final TSDF that can be used to determine the segmentation mask.
