Model Overview

Mask R-CNN is a convolution based network for object instance segmentation. This implementation provides 1.3x faster training while maintaining target accuracy.

Model Architecture

Mask R-CNN builds on top of FasterRCNN adding an additional mask head for the task of image segmentation.

The architecture consists of following:

• R-50 backbone with FPN
• RPN head
• RoI ALign
• Bounding and classification box head
• Mask head

Training

This model was trained using script available on NGC and in GitHub repo

Dataset

The following datasets were used to train this model:

• COCO 2014 - Dataset for large-scale object detection, segmentation and captioning.

Performance
