摘要	Multimodal semantic segmentation assigns a semantic class label to every pixel in a scene by fusing information from two or more sensor modalities — most commonly RGB images paired with depth maps (RGB-D), LiDAR point clouds, thermal cameras, or text descriptions. Deep encoder-decoder networks learn to align and fuse complementary cues from each modality, producing denser and more accurate segmentation than any single-modality approach.	Instance segmentation is a computer vision task that simultaneously detects every distinct object in an image and produces a precise pixel-level mask for each individual object instance. Unlike semantic segmentation, which labels every pixel with a class, instance segmentation distinguishes between separate objects of the same class, enabling fine-grained spatial understanding.	Semantic segmentation assigns a class label to every pixel in an image, producing a dense, category-annotated map of the scene. Unlike object detection, which draws bounding boxes, it delineates the exact spatial extent of each class, making it indispensable in medical imaging, autonomous driving, satellite analysis, and any task where precise region boundaries matter.
