DeepLabV3+ MobileNetV2 Model Documentation

Introduction

The DeepLabV3+ MobileNetV2 model is a semantic segmentation model pre-trained on the PASCAL VOC dataset at a resolution of 513x513. It combines the MobileNetV2 architecture, known for its efficiency and low power usage, with a DeepLabV3+ head, making it suitable for mobile and resource-constrained environments.

Architecture

MobileNetV2 utilizes inverted residuals and linear bottlenecks to balance latency, size, and accuracy, facilitating efficient deployment on mobile devices. The addition of the DeepLabV3+ head enhances its capability for semantic segmentation tasks.

Training

While specific training details are not provided in the model card, the model is pre-trained on the PASCAL VOC dataset, which is a common benchmark for image segmentation tasks. The authors recommend checking the model hub for fine-tuned versions tailored to specific tasks.

Guide: Running Locally

To run the model locally, you need to follow these steps:

1. Install Dependencies: Ensure you have Python, PyTorch, and the Transformers library installed.

2. Load the Model: Use the following code snippet to load and utilize the model for semantic segmentation:

   from transformers import AutoImageProcessor, AutoModelForSemanticSegmentation
   from PIL import Image
   import requests
   
   url = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"
   image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
   
   preprocessor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained("google/deeplabv3_mobilenet_v2_1.0_513")
   model = AutoModelForSemanticSegmentation.from_pretrained("google/deeplabv3_mobilenet_v2_1.0_513")
   
   inputs = preprocessor(images=image, return_tensors="pt")
   
   outputs = model(**inputs)
   predicted_mask = preprocessor.post_process_semantic_segmentation(outputs)
   

3. Cloud GPU Recommendation: For improved performance, consider using a cloud GPU service like AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure.
