Wenzhe Ouyang, Zenglin Xu, Jing Xu, Qifan Wang, Yong Xu

Abstract: Highlights•We propose Adaptive Global Deformation, a contour regression method using learnable sampling.•We use contour vertices as intermediates for boundary attention, bridging the gap between detection and segmentation.•The proposed method achieves promising performance on COCO datasets in detection and segmentation both.
