# UPerNet

[Unified Perceptual Parsing for Scene Understanding](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1807.10221.pdf)

## Introduction

<!-- [ABSTRACT] -->

Humans recognize the visual world at multiple levels: we effortlessly categorize scenes and detect objects inside, while also identifying the textures and surfaces of the objects along with their different compositional parts. In this paper, we study a new task called Unified Perceptual Parsing, which requires the machine vision systems to recognize as many visual concepts as possible from a given image. A multi-task framework called UPerNet and a training strategy are developed to learn from heterogeneous image annotations. We benchmark our framework on Unified Perceptual Parsing and show that it is able to effectively segment a wide range of concepts from images. The trained networks are further applied to discover visual knowledge in natural scenes. Models are available at [this https URL](https://github.com/CSAILVision/unifiedparsing).
