Image Segmentation with TensorFlow

Using TensorFlow to determine objects and surroundings in images

Description

This tutorial will walk you through image segmentation using a modified U-Net on the Oxford-IIIT Pet Dataset (created by Parkhi et al).

Image segmentation involves training a neural network to output a pixel-wise mask of an image. Each pixel is given a label which determines if it belongs to the object in that image, or not.

The Oxford-IIIT Pet Dataset consists of images, their corresponding labels, and pixel-wise masks. These masks are essentially labels for each pixel, which fall into three categories:

  • Class 1 : Pixel belonging to the pet.
  • Class 2 : Pixel bordering the pet.
  • Class 3 : Surrounding pixel.

Image segmentation has many applications, for example in medical imaging, self-driving cars and satellite imaging.
