It provides an easy way to implement <strong>Mask R-CNN<\/strong>, one of the most popular architectures for <strong>instance segmentation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this guide, we&#8217;ll cover the implementation of Mask R-CNN using Detectron2, from installation to inference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is Mask R-CNN?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mask R-CNN<\/strong> is an extension of Faster R-CNN that adds a branch for predicting segmentation masks on each region of interest (RoI), in addition to class labels and bounding boxes. It is widely used for <strong>instance segmentation<\/strong> where each object is segmented as a distinct entity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key Features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Object Detection<\/strong>: Detects bounding boxes for each object.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Instance Segmentation<\/strong>: Predicts a binary mask for each detected object.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flexible Backbone<\/strong>: Supports ResNet, ResNeXt, and other architectures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1.
