Panoptic Segmentation

Summarize in one sentence : Panoptic Segmentation proposes to solve the semantic segmentation(*Stuff*) and instance segmentation(*Thing*) in a unified and general manner.

Structure Overview

from UPSNet.

Datasets

Generally, the datasets which contains both semantic and instance annotations can be used to solve the challenging panoptic task.

• Cityscapes
• Mapillary Vistas
• ADE20K
• COCO-Panoptic
• BDD100K (the instance annotations are temporaily not released)

Evaluation

Metrics

• PQ are the standard metrics described in Panoptic Segmentation.

• PC are the standard metrics described in DeeperLab.

Evaluation Code

• cocodataset/panopticapi
• mcordts/cityscapesScripts

Competition

• COCO+Mapillary 2019 Panoptic Segmentation Task (ICCV 2019 Workshop, Open)
• Cityscapes Panoptic Semantic Labeling Task (Open)
• COCO 2018 Panoptic Segmentation Task (ECCV 2018 Workshop, Closed)
• Mapillary Vistas 2018 Panoptic Segmentation Task (ECCV 2018 Workshop, Closed)
