Researchers have developed an optimized semantic segmentation architecture called Opt-RetinaSeg, derived from the RetinaNet detection framework, specifically for real-time perception in embedded automotive systems. This new architecture features a lightweight feature extractor, a restructured Feature Pyramid Network, and a compact segmentation head. Through a three-stage optimization process including pruning, quantization, and knowledge distillation, Opt-RetinaSeg achieves a significant speedup and size reduction compared to baseline models, with minimal accuracy loss, making it suitable for resource-constrained automotive hardware.
