Is it possible to use Semantic Segmentation to select one object out of the background - for example to select a tree out of a forest?

Hi Chris,

Unfortunately that is not possible. ARDK doesn’t support instance segmentation like that. If you can gives us more details about what you are trying to achieve maybe the community could help find an alternative solution.

Thanks for that Guy. What I need is to be able to identify and label individual objects in the real world. Any help on this would be grateful received.
