Instance Segmentation
A task that separates every individual object, not just object categories, with its own pixel mask. Mask R-CNN, presented by Kaiming He and colleagues in 2017, popularized it for counting and tracking.

Spot it
- 01Distinct color per object
- 02Translucent mask overlays
- 03Labels with box outlines
Why it happens
Detects each object with a bounding box, then predicts a binary mask inside that box, so two objects of the same class receive different masks.

Image edit prompt“Show instance segmentation on this image: overlay each separate object with its own semi-transparent mask in a different bright color, even for objects of the same type, add a thin outline around each mask and a small label tag with a class name and confidence. Keep the original subject and composition recognizable.”
