Multimodal AI
Panoptic segmentation
Labeling all parts of a picture while also distinguishing individual objects of the same type.
Example

Why people use it
It labels the whole scene while keeping individual objects separate.
What you'll hear
“Label the road and also distinguish each car.”
What this means for you
Check both category accuracy and the separation of individual objects.
Can you control it?
Developer-only
The people building or running the AI choose this setup. An everyday user generally needs their help to change how this part works.
Common questions
- Can it describe areas such as sky as well as separate objects?
- Yes. It combines broad scene areas with individual objects, such as different people in the same picture.
- Does it treat sky like an individual object?
- Usually not. Broad background regions and separate countable objects are handled differently.
- Can it get the category right but the separation wrong?
- Yes. It may recognize cars while incorrectly merging two cars into one instance.
