Instance segmentation API

[bhack]

What is the timing of the new Instance segmentation API? Will it cover ops like https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/2169 too?

[cy89]

Is your question when any code might be released? Have you tried asking the authors of the paper you linked?

[bhack]

Yes see slide n. 34. I've not Alireza Fathi github account to mention him. Probably you have some internal reference to other members of Google Team G-RMI to expose a roadmap.

[afathi3]

We plan to release the instance segmentation API by the end of November or early December.
Right now we do not have an implementation of the unpooling op you pointed to as far as I know, but we will look into it.

[bhack]

Thank you Alireza for the update. Seems that it is really near. On segmentation we have also FC-Densenet waiting in #2308

Closing this out, since this is really a request for information, rather than a bug or feature request.

[bhack]

@tatatodd Was a request for information about a feature pre-announce (istance segmentation API/models) and the reply could be still of public interest. But it is so near that we could close this.

[bhack]

@afathi3 Can you post a reference here when there will be some news? Also if the plan will be postponed. Thanks

[afathi3]

We are working on it. It is going through the final processing.

[bhack]

Thank you. Will It include recurrent approach like Recurrent Segmentation for Variable Computational Budgets or it is another Google team?

[afathi3]

That is a different project.

[EGuirado]

@afathi3, Is there news of the segmentation API publication? Thanks

[bhack]

@afathi3 Is it related to your Instance Embedding Transfer paper?

[bhack]

It could be interesting how this new API will interect with Keras counterparts that will land as upstream in TF keras namespace. /cc @ahundt for keras-team/keras#6538 keras-team/keras-contrib#202 keras-team/keras-contrib#197

[ahundt]

@bhack Thanks for including me on this discussion, as I'm very interested in utilizing such an API. There is a more research oriented implementation in https://github.com/tensorflow/models/tree/master/research/object_detection as well.

[bhack]

Can you reopen this until the API is published?. So that we have a issue where we will be notified.

[bhack]

Another user opened tensorflow/tensorflow#16452 so we could track this issue.

Also waiting on this request
