EGRNet: Lightweight semantic segmentation network with edge refinement

Researchers have developed EGRNet, a lightweight deep learning model for real-time semantic segmentation in urban environments. This network utilizes depthwise separable convolutions and dilated residual blocks to efficiently capture multi-scale contextual information. A novel Edge-Gated Refinement module enhances boundary preservation, while Squeeze-and-Excitation attention improves feature representation. With only 0.46 million parameters, EGRNet achieves a 65.28% mIoU on the Cityscapes dataset and includes a lightweight adversarial attack detection strategy for robustness. AI

IMPACT Offers a more efficient and robust solution for real-time scene understanding in autonomous systems and smart cities.
