Abstract
A computer-implemented method for semantic segmentation includes constructing a co-occurrence table that includes co-occurrences of predictions of a pre-trained model for base classes and labels for novel classes from the pre-trained model for base classes and from training data with novel classes. Classifiers are trained that associated with a base class and that classify an input into the base class and one of the novel classes that have co-occurrences with the base class according to the co-occurrence. A prediction is fused from the pre-trained model and the trained classifiers to obtain a final prediction result as a fully labeled image.
