Opnet: Deep Occlusion Perception Network with Boundary Awareness for Amodal Instance Segmentation

The Amodal Instance Segmentation (AIS) task aims to infer the visible and occluded regions of an object instance. Existing AIS methods typically focus on directly predicting visible and occluded regions or leveraging prior knowledge to guide predictions. However, these methods often ignore the perception of occluded views, leading to inaccurate results. To address this issue and achieve high-quality AIS, we propose a boundary-aware Occlusion Perception Network (OPNet). OPNet consists of three main components: the Dynamic Feature Augmentation Pyramid (DFAP), the Dual-path Boundary Aware Module (DBAM), and the Shape-guide Refinement Module (SRM). Specifically, DBAM employs an occlusion-perception strategy to learn discriminative features with boundary information, enabling it to distinguish occlusion from multiple views. Additionally, DFAP and SRM optimize the results by enhancing feature aggregation and imposing geometric constraints. Experiments on the D2SA, KINS, and CWALT datasets show that OPNet significantly outperforms state-of-the-art AIS methods that without prior knowledge.
