Deep Learning for Visual Segmentation: A Review

Big data-driven deep learning methods have been widely used in image or video segmentation. The main challenge is that a large amount of labeled data is required in training deep learning models, which is important in real-world applications. To the best of our knowledge, there exist few researches in the deep learning-based visual segmentation. To this end, this paper summarizes the algorithms and current situation of image or video segmentation technologies based on deep learning and point out the future trends. The characteristics of segmentation that based on semi-supervised or unsupervised learning, all of the recent novel methods are summarized in this paper. The principle, advantages and disadvantages of each algorithms are also compared and analyzed.
