The neural network architecture integrates an edge guidance module and object segmentation network into a single framework for detecting target objects and performing segmentation functions. The neural network architecture can be trained to generate edge-attention representations that preserve the edge information included in images. The neural network architecture can be trained to generate multi-scale feature information that preserves and enhances object-level feature information included in images. The edge-attention representations and multi-scale feature information can be fused to generate segmentation results that identify target object boundaries with increased accuracy.
