We present an approach for generic object detection and segmentation in monocular videos. In this task, we want to segment objects from a background with no prior knowledge about the possible classes of objects which we may encounter. This makes this task much harder than the classical object detection and segmentation, which can be posed as a supervised learning problem. Our approach uses an ensemble of 3 different models which are trained by different objectives and have different failure modes and therefore complement each other. We demonstrate the usefulness of our approach on a custom dataset containing 18 classes of organic objects. Using our method, we were able to recover the classes of objects in a fully unsupervised way.
