Abstract:	This letter proposes a novel method to obtain panoptic predictions by extending the semantic segmentation task with a few non-learning image processing steps, presenting the following benefits: 1) annotations do not require a specific format [e.g., common objects in context (COCO)]; 2) fewer parameters (e.g., single loss function and no need for object detection parameters); and 3) a more straightforward sliding windows implementation for large image classification (still unexplored for panoptic segmentation). Semantic segmentation models do not individualize touching objects, as their predictions can merge; i.e., a single polygon represents many targets. Our method overcomes this problem by isolating the objects using borders on the polygons that may merge. The data preparation requires generating a one-pixel border, and for unique object identification, we create a list with the isolated polygons, attribute a different value to each one, and use the expanding border (EB) algorithm for those with borders. Although any semantic segmentation model applies, we used the U-Net with three backbones (EfficientNet-B5, EfficientNet-B3, and EfficientNet-B0). The results show that the following hold: 1) the EfficientNet-B5 had the best results with 70% mean intersection over union (mIoU); 2) the EB algorithm presented better results for better models; 3) the panoptic metrics show a high capability of identifying things and stuff with 65 panoptic quality (PQ); and 4) the sliding windows on a 2560×2560 -pixel area has shown promising results, in which the ratio of merged objects by correct predictions was lower than 1% for all classes.
