Self-supervised Semantic Segmentation/Evidence
Method evidence record

Self-supervised Semantic Segmentation

Self-supervised semantic segmentation learns to assign a class label to every pixel of an image without relying on manually annotated segmentation masks. A backbone network is first trained on large quantities of unlabeled images using self-supervised objectives such as contrastive learning or masked image modeling, and the resulting dense features are then used to partition and label image regions, achieving competitive segmentation quality at a fraction of the annotation cost.
