The disclosure may effectively improve performance of semantic segmentation.
Claims19
A method for operating an electronic device for image segmentation, the method comprising:
- performing feature extraction on an image through a feature extraction network to obtain a feature map as a three-dimensional matrix, wherein directions of the feature map include a first direction, a second direction, and a third direction;
- and
- performing feature map processing on the feature map using a convolution operation or a pooling operation for at least two of the directions of the feature map to complete semantic segmentation of the image,
- wherein the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are orthogonal to each other.
An apparatus of an electronic device, comprising:
- a feature extraction module;
- and
- a feature map processing module,
- the feature extraction module being configured to:
- perform feature extraction on an image through a feature extraction network to obtain a feature map as a three-dimensional matrix, wherein directions of the feature map include a first direction, a second direction, and a third direction, and
- the feature map processing module being configured to:
- perform feature map processing on the feature map using a convolution operation or a pooling operation for at least two of the directions of the feature map to complete semantic segmentation of the image,
- wherein the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are orthogonal to each other.
