Is it possible to save each character detected in an image to a separate file?

It is not possible now.

Is it because of the neural network architecture used?

Because this is a semantic segmentation problem. It will only identify pixels in the image that correspond to the concept of "person". If you expect to segment different individuals separately, then it would be an instance segmentation task, which requires completely different algorithms such as YOLO, DINO, and so on.

BTW, we have trained an object detection model specifically for characters in anime images (online demo, Python library). You might consider trying to perform object detection first and then use the semantic segmentation model within each detected region. Although it may not be perfect (for example, it may not separate two close individuals), it should yield some results.
