Confidence-based segmentation of multiple units

A system comprising:

• one or more computer-readable storage media;
• a processing system operatively coupled to the one or more computer-readable storage media;
• and
• program instructions, stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, wherein the program instructions, when read and executed by the processing system, direct the processing system to:
• collect at least one image of a scene, wherein the scene comprises a plurality of distinct objects;
• generate a plurality of segmentation predictions for the scene, wherein each segmentation prediction of the plurality of segmentation predictions includes one or more object regions each representing a region predicted to correspond to a single object;
• and
• output a final segmentation prediction comprising at least one identified object region, wherein the at least one identified object region is chosen based on a confidence associated with the at least one identified object region and a confidence threshold.

One or more computer-readable storage media having program instructions stored thereon to generate segmentation predictions, wherein the program instructions, when read and executed by a processing system, direct the processing system to at least:

• collect at least one image of a scene, wherein the scene comprises a plurality of distinct objects;
• generate a plurality of segmentation predictions for the scene, wherein each segmentation prediction of the plurality of segmentation predictions includes one or more object regions each representing a region predicted to correspond to a single object;
• and
• output a final segmentation prediction comprising at least one identified object region, wherein the at least one identified object region is chosen based on a confidence associated with the at least one identified object region and a confidence threshold.
