SEMIR: Topology-Preserving Graph Minors for Thin-Structure Segmentation

arXiv:2606.24935v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Thin-structure segmentation--power lines, cracks, lane markings at 1-3 pixel width--requires preserving connectivity that standard representations preclude: patching severs continuous structures and conventional superpixels merge thin targets into background before classification. Topology-aware losses penalize connectivity breaks at the objective level but cannot recover what the representation has already destroyed. We propose SEMIR, a framework ...
