Main Abstract:
The encoder-decoder framework is state-of-the-art for offline semantic image segmentation. Since the rise in autonomous systems, real-time computation is increasingly desirable. In this paper, we introduce fast segmentation convolutional neural network (Fast-SCNN), an above real-time semantic segmentation model on high resolution image data (1024x2048px) suited to efficient computation on embedded devices with low memory. Building on existing two-branch methods for fast segmentation, we introduce our learning to downsample' module which computes low-level features for multiple resolution branches simultaneously. Our network combines spatial detail at high resolution with deep features extracted at lower resolution, yielding an accuracy of 68.0 mean intersection over union at 123.5 frames per second on Cityscapes. We also show that large scale pre-training is unnecessary. We thoroughly validate our metric in experiments with ImageNet pre-training and the coarse labeled data of Cityscapes. Finally, we show even faster computation with competitive results on subsampled inputs, without any network modifications.

[1]: Modern deep learning architectures produce highly accurate results on many challenging semantic segmentation datasets. State-of-the-art methods are, however, not directly transferable to real-time applications or embedded devices, since naive adaptation of such systems to reduce computational cost (speed, memory and energy) causes a significant drop in accuracy. We propose ContextNet, a new deep neural network architecture which builds on factorized convolution, network compression and pyramid representation to produce competitive semantic segmentation in real-time with low memory requirement. ContextNet combines a deep network branch at low resolution that captures global context information efficiently with a shallow branch that focuses on high-resolution segmentation details. We analyse our network in a thorough ablation study and present results on the Cityscapes dataset, achieving 66.1 accuracy at 18.3 frames per second at full (1024x2048) resolution (41.9 fps with pipelined computations for streamed data).

[2]: Semantic segmentation architectures are mainly built upon an encoder-decoder structure. These models perform subsequent downsampling operations in the encoder. Since operations on high-resolution activation maps are computationally expensive, usually the decoder produces output segmentation maps by upsampling with parameters-free operators like bilinear or nearest-neighbor. We propose a Neural Network named Guided Upsampling Network which consists of a multiresolution architecture that jointly exploits high-resolution and large context information. Then we introduce a new module named Guided Upsampling Module (GUM) that enriches upsampling operators by introducing a learnable transformation for semantic maps. It can be plugged into any existing encoder-decoder architecture with little modifications and low additional computation cost. We show with quantitative and qualitative experiments how our network benefits from the use of GUM module. A comprehensive set of experiments on the publicly available Cityscapes dataset demonstrates that Guided Upsampling Network can efficiently process high-resolution images in real-time while attaining state-of-the art performances.

[4]: Semantic segmentation requires both rich spatial information and sizeable receptive field. However, modern approaches usually compromise spatial resolution to achieve real-time inference speed, which leads to poor performance. In this paper, we address this dilemma with a novel Bilateral Segmentation Network (BiSeNet). We first design a Spatial Path with a small stride to preserve the spatial information and generate high-resolution features. Meanwhile, a Context Path with a fast downsampling strategy is employed to obtain sufficient receptive field. On top of the two paths, we introduce a new Feature Fusion Module to combine features efficiently. The proposed architecture makes a right balance between the speed and segmentation performance on Cityscapes, CamVid, and COCO-Stuff datasets. Specifically, for a 2048 ( ) 1024 input, we achieve 68.4 Mean IOU on the Cityscapes test dataset with speed of 105 FPS on one NVIDIA Titan XP card, which is significantly faster than the existing methods with comparable performance.
More recently, two-branch and multi-branch systems were introduced. ICNet [3] , ContextNet [1] , BiSeNet [4] and GUN [2] learned global context with reduced-resolution input in a deep branch, while boundaries are learned in a shallow branch at full resolution.
