Weakly Supervised Semantic Segmentation

Weakly Supervised Semantic Segmentation (WSSS) trains pixel-level scene parsers using only cheap, coarse annotations — typically image-level class tags — instead of costly dense pixel masks. By generating proxy pseudo-labels from a classification network (via Class Activation Maps or similar localisation cues) and iteratively refining them, WSSS brings full-supervision accuracy within reach at a fraction of the annotation cost.
