**TLDR:** A unified segmentation task that models both scene classes and separate object instances under a single framework.

<p>Panoptic segmentation aims to unify semantic and instance segmentation into a single coherent representation. Background surfaces are modeled at the class level, while countable objects are represented at the instance level. This unified view enables more holistic interpretation of real-world scenes. It is a strong general framework especially for autonomous systems and advanced scene analytics.</p>
