  • Patent number: 11315253
    Abstract: An image processing method for segmenting an image, the method comprising: receiving an image; processing said image with a common processing stage to produce a first feature map; inputting said first feature map to a parallel processing stage, said second processing stage comprising first and second parallel branches that receive the first feature map; and combining the output of the first and second branches to produce a semantic segmented image, wherein the common processing stage comprises a neural network, the neural network having at least one separable convolution module configured to perform separable convolution and downsample the image to produce first feature map and said first branch comprises a neural network comprising at least one separable convolution module configured to perform separable convolution.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10769744
    Abstract: An image processing method for segmenting an image, the method comprising: receiving first image; producing a second image from said first image, wherein said second image is a lower resolution representation of said first image; processing said first image with a first processing stage to produce a first feature map; processing said second image with a second processing stage to produce a second feature map; and combining the first feature map with the second feature map to produce a semantic segmented image; wherein the first processing stage comprises a first neural network comprising at least one separable convolution module configured to perform separable convolution and said second processing stage comprises a second neural network comprising at least one separable convolution module configured to perform separable convolution; the number of layers in the first neural network being smaller than the number of layers in the second neural network.
