Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention set forth techniques for image segmentation with object boundary refinement. In some embodiments, the techniques include receiving an image and an indication of a region within the image, wherein the region includes an object, determining, by a machine learning model, a boundary of the object within the region; receiving a boundary parameter; and determining a portion of the region that includes the object, the determining of the portion of the region being based on the boundary and the boundary parameter. In some embodiments, the machine learning model generates a per-pixel score for each pixel of the region, each per-pixel score indicating a likelihood that the pixel is included in the object, and the boundary parameter includes a score threshold applied to the per-pixel scores to determine the pixels that are included in the portion of the region.
