内容简介：Existing methods for semantic segmentation either pay more attention on segmentation accuracy without considering implementing efficiency, or emphasize more on high-speed inference, neglecting producing high-accuracy segmentation outputs. In recent years, the advance of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) makes remarkable progress on semantic segmentation, but the effectiveness of these networks largely depends on the sophisticated model design regarding depth and width, which has to involve many operations and parameters. In the talk, I will briefly overview the recent advances in building lightweight networks for real-time semantic segmentation. Recent CNN-based efforts are mainly categorized into two categories: network compression, and convolution factorization. Where the first one prefers to reduce inference computation by compressing pre-trained networks, and in contrast, the second one focuses on directly training network with smaller size. After given some representative lightweight networks, we will introduce two Encoder-Decoder architectures that aim to develop efficient residual networks for real-time semantic segmentation. We call them LEDNet and ESNet, respectively, where the encoder network is utilized to abstract image features and the decoder counterpart is employed to sequentially recover image details.
