Abstract:
Self-supervised learning (SSL) can be used to solve complex visual tasks without human labels. Self-supervised representations encode useful semantic information about images, and as a result, they have already been used for tasks such as unsupervised semantic segmentation.In this paper, we investigate self-supervised representations for instance segmentation without any manual annotations.We find that the features of different SSL methods vary in their level of instance-awareness. In particular, DINO features, which are known to be excellent semantic descriptors, lack behind MAE features in their sensitivity for separating instances.
