Abstract: A method and an electronic apparatus for performing unified segmentation of media content are provided. The method includes: determining a guidance map for an input frame based on a salient object from a past frame output mask and user-interacted objects in the media, operating in either salient mode or selective mode. The input frame of the media is cropped based on the guidance map and the salient ROIs of the salient object. A weighted grayscale image of the cropped frame is generated from the past frame output mask. A fused spatio-color mesh grid representation of the cropped frame in YUV format is determined. The cropped image frame, along with the weighted grayscale image and the fused spatio-color mesh grid representation, is input into a segmentation model. The segmentation model generates either a salient object segmentation or a user-interacted object segmentation for the media.
