Semantic Segmentation

/sɪˈmæntɪk ˌsɛɡmɛnˈteɪʃən/

A computer vision task that assigns a class label to every pixel in an image.

Semantic segmentation creates dense predictions, useful for understanding scene layout. Common architectures include U-Net, DeepLab, and Mask R-CNN for instance segmentation.

Examples

  • Medical image segmentation
  • Autonomous driving scene understanding
  • Satellite image analysis
