Mask Refinement

A refinement process that improves an initial segmentation output in terms of boundary quality and detail precision.

Mask refinement is applied to make coarse segmentation outputs more usable. Raw segmentation may be insufficient when thin boundaries, small objects, or complex edge structures are involved. Edge-aware correction, multi-scale fusion, or post-processing-based refinement methods are therefore used. It can be a critical layer determining final application quality.
