Abstract
A system for generating a mask for object instances in an image is provided. The system includes a first module comprising a trained neural network and configured to input the image to the neural network, wherein the neural network is configured to generate: pixel offset vectors for the pixels of the object instance configured to point towards a unique center of an object instance, the pixel offset vectors thereby forming a cluster with a cluster distribution, and for each object instance an estimate of said cluster distribution defining a margin for determining which pixels belong to the object instance. A method for training a neural network map to be used for generating a mask for object instances in an image is also provided.
