I understand semantic segmentation but it's been a while since I've tinkered in the computer vision space. Can you explain the push for panoptic segmentation and why you think it's a valuable technology? What can it accomplish that really good semantic segmentation can't?

OK, panoptic segmentation means doing two kinds of segmentation task together: semantic segmentation and instance segmentation. The semantic segmentation can only segment things like "sky", "car", "person", but it's hard to segment each instance. And instance segmentation is like object detection, which means it will predict a box with a mask on an instance~

Isn't semantic segmentation made redundant by the instance segmentation? Or is there a difference in coverage for the two tasks, in terms of the ground truth labels?
