Abstract

A digital medium environment includes an image processing application that performs object segmentation on an input image. An improved object segmentation method implemented by the image processing application comprises receiving an input image that includes an object region to be segmented by a segmentation process, processing the input image to provide a first segmentation that defines the object region, and processing the first segmentation to provide a second segmentation that provides pixel-wise label assignments for the object region. In some implementations, the image processing application performs improved sky segmentation on an input image containing a depiction of a sky.
