Efficient Semantic Segmentation

Efficient semantic segmentation aims to accurately classify each pixel in an image while minimizing computational resources, crucial for real-time applications like autonomous driving and robotics. Current research focuses on developing lightweight architectures, often hybridizing convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with transformers, and employing techniques like token reduction, knowledge distillation, and adaptive resolution strategies to improve efficiency without sacrificing accuracy. These advancements are significant because they enable the deployment of high-performing semantic segmentation models on resource-constrained devices, expanding the practical applicability of this technology across various domains.
