SipMask — New SOTA in Instance Segmentation

SipMask is a one-stage neural network for instance segmentation of objects in an image. The model bypasses the previous one-stage state-of-the-art approaches on the COCO test-dev dataset. Compared to TensorMask, SipMask gives a 1% AP gain. Moreover, the model produces predictions 4 times faster. The model bypasses YOLACT by 3% in AP. The source code of the project is available in the repository on GitHub.
