A Hierarchical Feature Extraction Network for Fast Scene Segmentation

Semantic segmentation is one of the most active research topics in computer vision with the goal to assign dense semantic labels for all pixels in a given image. In this paper, we introduce HFEN (Hierarchical Feature Extraction Network), a lightweight network to reach a balance between inference spe...
