## Declaration

func latestSuppressionMask() -> NSDKAsyncState<SceneSegmentationResult, AwarenessError>

#### Summary

Retrieves the latest suppression mask for semantic processing.
This method returns a binary mask indicating areas that should be ignored or suppressed
during semantic processing. Suppression masks are useful for filtering out regions
that are not relevant for semantic understanding, such as areas with poor image quality.

#### Returns

An NSDKAsyncState containing either the latest SceneSegmentationResult,
  or an AwarenessError.

#### Suppression Mask Usage

Suppression masks are binary images where:

- **0**: Areas to be suppressed (ignored in semantic processing)
- **1**: Areas to be processed normally
  Use suppression masks to improve semantic processing quality by excluding
  problematic regions from analysis.
