Abstract

Real-time semantic segmentation is widely used in autonomous driving and robotics. Most previous networks achieved great accuracy based on a complicated model involving mass computing. The existing lightweight networks generally reduce the parameter sizes by sacrificing the segmentation accuracy. It is critical to balance the parameters and accuracy for real-time semantic segmentation. In this article, we propose a lightweight multiscale-feature-fusion network (LMFFNet) mainly composed of three types of components: split-extract-merge bottleneck (SEM-B) block, feature fusion module (FFM), and multiscale attention decoder (MAD), where the SEM-B block extracts sufficient features with fewer parameters. FFMs fuse multiscale semantic features to effectively improve the segmentation accuracy and the MAD well recovers the details of the input images through the attention mechanism. Without pretraining, LMFFNet-3-8 achieves 75.1% mean intersection over union (mIoU) with 1.4 M parameters at 118.9 frames/s using RTX 3090 GPU. More experiments are investigated extensively on various resolutions on other three datasets of CamVid, KITTI, and WildDash2. The experiments verify that the proposed LMFFNet model makes a decent tradeoff between segmentation accuracy and inference speed for real-time tasks. The source code is publicly available at https://github.com/Greak-1124/LMFFNet .
