Semantic labelling and instance segmentation are two tasks that require particularly costly annotations. Starting from weak supervision in the form of bounding box detection annotations, we propose to recursively train a convnet such that outputs are improved after each iteration. We explore which aspects affect the recursive training, and which is the most suitable box-guided segmentation to use as initialisation. Our results improve significantly over previously reported ones, even when using rectangles as rough initialisation. Overall, our weak supervision approach reaches ~95% of the quality of the fully supervised model, both for semantic labelling and instance segmentation.
