Description

Hello,

I have a question for the Automatic Segmentation module. Is every pixel in an image accounted for i.e included in at least
one of the masks returned by the mask generator. What I have observed in every example I see some pixels are missed and a thin layer of pixels around an object are not part of any object. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Research direction

Start by locating the Automatic Segmentation module and its mask generator in the repository, then reproduce the reported examples to inspect pixels missing from all returned masks. Done means providing a repository-backed explanation of the mask coverage behavior and whether the observed gaps indicate misuse or expected output.
