By utilizing an attention mechanism, the output features from the two branches are dynamically fused, quantifying the relative importance of the two complementary images at different spatial positions. Finally, the fused feature map is utilized for tooth instance segmentation. Extensive experiments are conducted using a proprietary dataset to evaluate the effectiveness of Co-Mask R-CNN, and the results are compared against those of an alternative segmentation network.
