Introduction to Image Segmentation

This guide focuses on implementing image segmentation and scene understanding techniques, primarily utilizing DeepLab models.

It covers key aspects including architecture comparison, normalization strategies, and deployment options for both cloud and edge computing environments.

DeepLab Architecture Overview

DeepLab employs atrous convolution (also known as dilated convolution) to effectively capture multi-scale contextual information within an image.

This technique allows the model to process larger receptive fields without increasing computational complexity, crucial for accurate segmentation.

Preprocessing and Normalization

Normalization involves scaling pixel values to a specific range, such as [0, 1], which improves the training stability and convergence of deep learning models.

Resizing is also an important step, adjusting image dimensions to meet the input requirements of the chosen DeepLab model.
