Abstract

An instance segmentation method and apparatus are provided. A to-be-trained segmentation network performs the following processing on each instance group that is in a sample original image and that is of pixels of a marked instance, where each instance group includes at least one marked instance, and the processing includes: predicting at least two different first basic feature maps and a first attention feature map corresponding to each first basic feature map; performing weighted processing on the at least two first basic feature maps and pixel values of respective first attention feature maps corresponding to the at least two first basic feature maps, to obtain a first feature fusion map; and training the to-be-trained segmentation network based on the first feature fusion map and the sample original image. A segmentation model can precisely determine pixels of an instance in an original image.
