Efficient and accurate segmentation of unseen objects is crucial for robotic manipulation. However, it remains challenging due to over-or under-segmentation. Although existing refinement methods can enhance the segmentation quality, they fix only minor boundary errors or are not sufficiently fast. In this work, we propose INSTAnce Boundary Explicit Error Estimation and Refinement (INSTA-BEEER), a novel refinement model that allows for adding and deleting instances and sharpening boundaries. Leveraging an error-estimationthen-refinement scheme, the model first estimates the pixelwise boundary explicit errors: true positive, true negative, false positive, and false negative pixels of the instance boundary in the initial segmentation. It then refines the initial segmentation using these error estimates as guidance. Experiments show that the proposed model significantly enhances segmentation, achieving state-of-the-art performance. Furthermore, with a fast runtime (less than 0.1 s), the model consistently improves performance across various initial segmentation methods, making it highly suitable for practical robotic applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
