Claim 0:
1. In a digital medium environment for editing digital visual media, a computer-implemented method for generating segmentation masks comprising:
generating, utilizing a segmentation refinement neural network, a refined segmentation mask for a digital visual media item depicting one or more objects by:
extracting, utilizing a shared encoder, encoded feature maps from the digital visual media item;
generating, utilizing a deconvolution branch of a recursive decoder, decoded feature maps based on the encoded feature maps; and
generating, utilizing a hierarchy of hierarchical point-wise refining blocks corresponding to a refinement branch of the recursive decoder, the refined segmentation mask by:
generating, utilizing a first hierarchical point-wise refining block, an initial segmentation mask for the digital visual media item based on at least one encoded feature map from the shared encoder and at least one decoded feature map from the deconvolution branch; and
recursively refining the initial segmentation mask utilizing additional hierarchical point-wise refining blocks based on additional encoded feature maps from the shared encoder and additional decoded feature maps from the deconvolution branch,
wherein the recursively refining comprises refining the initial segmentation mask by each of the additional hierarchical point-wise refining blocks, and
wherein encodings of coarse-to-fine variations generated via the additional hierarchical point-wise refining blocks are provided back to the deconvolution branch such that at least some of the additional decoded feature maps are generated based on the generated encodings of coarse-to-fine variations.
