Abstract
A system and a method for processing an image so as to perform instance segmentation. The system/method includes: a—inputting (S) the image (IMG) to a first neural network configured to output an affinity graph (AF), and b—inputting (S), to a second neural network, the affinity graph and a predefined seed-map (SM), so as to determine whether other pixels belong to a same instance, and set at a first value the value of the other pixels determined as belonging to the same instance.
