Can Azure Computer Vision or Cognative Services do "instance segmentation?

Question

Hi all,

I'm relativley new to Azure Computer Vision and Machine Learning. Is it possible to do "Instance Segmentation" in Azure somehow?

From what I have found Azure Computer Vision can only do "Classification" and "Object Detection"

(My understanding of Instance Segmentation is more advanced in that it is able to output: Presence, Location, Count, Size, and Shape from an analysed image. Classificaiton and Object Detection can only do Presence, Location, Count)

Thanks

Hi @SKT , you can use the AutoML Image Instance Segmentation model, as Ram mentioned. More information on how to configure this component's parameters and data preparation details can be found here and here is a link to the documentation for your reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/component-reference-v2/image-instance-segmentation

Also, you can also use Azure Machine Learning AutoML to prepare your data for computer vision tasks such as classification, object detection, and instance segmentation. More information on data preparation can be found in the following document:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/how-to-prepare-datasets-for-automl-images?tabs=cli

I hope this helps.
