Abstract
A method is provided for classifying pixels of an image. An image comprising a plurality of pixels is captured by a sensor device. A neural network is used for estimating probability values for each pixel, each probability value indicating the probability for the respective pixel being associated with one of a plurality of predetermined classes. One of the classes is assigned to each pixel of the image based on the respective probability values to create a predicted segmentation map. For training the neural network, a loss function is generated by relating the predicted segmentation map to ground truth labels. Furthermore, an edge detection algorithm is applied to at least one of the predicted segmentation maps and the ground truth labels, wherein the edge detection algorithm predicts boundaries between objects. Generating the loss function is based on a result of the edge detection algorithm.
