Transfer Learning with Instance Segmentation

Transfer learning with instance segmentation reuses a backbone convolutional network pretrained on a large image corpus (typically ImageNet or COCO) as the feature extractor for an instance segmentation model such as Mask R-CNN, then fine-tunes the full pipeline on a smaller target dataset. This approach delivers state-of-the-art per-object mask accuracy with a fraction of the labeled data and compute that training from scratch would require.
