Interactive Image Segmentation with Transformers
Boris Faizov, Vlad Shakhuro, Anton Konushin · 2022 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP) · 2022
In this paper, we address the click-based interactive segmentation task with a novel transformer network. Transformer-based approaches show promising results in various computer vision tasks. However, all modern interactive segmentation methods are still based on convolutional networks. We propose a transformer network for interactive segmentation and explore three different ways to feed click information into neural networks. Through extensive evaluation, we show that our model trained on a combination of COCO and LVIS sets a new click-based state-of-the-art on GrabCut, Berkeley, SBD, DAVIS, and Pascal VOC in terms of NoC (Number of Clicks) and mIoU.
