Abstract
A method for video instance segmentation is provided. The method includes inputting a plurality of video frames collected by a sensor of a vehicle to a trained machine learning model to obtain an n-th output from an n-th layer of the trained machine learning model and an n+1-st output from an n+1-st layer of the trained machine learning model, the trained machine learning model comprising a deep learning model and early-exit subnets, and in response to determining that a difference between the n-th output and the n+1-st output is less than a threshold value, controlling the vehicle based on the n+1-st output, the n+1-st output includes information about instances in the plurality of video frames.
