Introduction

PaddleSeg is an end-to-end high-efficent development toolkit for image segmentation based on PaddlePaddle, which helps both developers and researchers in the whole process of designing segmentation models, training models, optimizing performance and inference speed, and deploying models. A lot of well-trained models and various real-world applications in both industry and academia help users conveniently build hands-on experiences in image segmentation.

• Four segmentation areas: semantic segmentation, interactive segmentation, panoptic segmentation and image matting.

---

• Various applications in autonomous driving, medical segmentation, remote sensing, quality inspection, and other scenarios.

---

Features

• High-Performance Model: Based on the high-performance backbone trained by semi-supervised label knowledge distillation scheme (SSLD), combined with the state of the art segmentation technology, we provide 80+ high-quality pre-training models, which are better than other open-source implementations.

• Modular Design: PaddleSeg supports 40+ mainstream segmentation networks, developers can start based on actual application scenarios and assemble diversified training configurations combined with modular design of data enhancement strategies, backbone networks, loss functions and other different components to meet different performance and accuracy requirements.

• High Efficiency: PaddleSeg provides multi-process asynchronous I/O, multi-card parallel training, evaluation, and other acceleration strategies, combined with the memory optimization function of the PaddlePaddle, which can greatly reduce the training overhead of the segmentation model, all this allowing developers to lower cost and more efficiently train image segmentation model.
