Abstract: In recent years, with the continuous improvement of computing level, the research of instance segment-ation methods based on deep learning has made great breakthroughs. Image instance segmentation can distinguish different instances of the same class in images, which is an important research direction in the field of computer vision with broad research prospects, and has achieved great actual application value in scene comprehension, medical image analysis, machine vision, augmented reality, image compression, video monitoring, etc. Recently, instance segmentation methods have been updated more and more frequently, but there is a little literature to comprehensively and systematically analyze the research background related to instance segmentation. This paper  provides a comprehensive and systematic analysis and summary of the image instance segmentation methods based on deep learning. Firstly, this paper introduces the currently used common public datasets and evaluation indexes in instance segmentation, and analyzes the challenges of current datasets. Secondly, this paper respectively combs and summarizes the instance segmentation algorithms in the characteristics of two-stage segmentation methods and single-stage segmentation methods, elaborates their central ideas and design thoughts, and summarizes the advantages and shortcomings of the two types of methods. Thirdly, this paper evaluates the segmentation accuracy and speed of the models on a public dataset. Finally, this paper summarizes the current difficulties and challenges of instance segmentation, presents the solution ideas for facing the challenges, and makes a prospect for future research directions.
