Object Instance
Object instance understanding focuses on identifying and segmenting individual objects within scenes, going beyond simple object classification. Current research emphasizes improving the accuracy and efficiency of instance detection and segmentation, particularly in scenarios with novel or few-shot examples, using techniques like contrastive learning, geometric reasoning, and embedding-based methods. This field is crucial for advancing applications such as autonomous navigation, robotic manipulation, and scene understanding, driving progress in both computer vision and artificial intelligence. Significant efforts are also dedicated to handling dynamic environments and continual learning to address the challenges of real-world object variability.
