StaticSegFormer boosts semantic segmentation efficiency without performance loss

Researchers have developed StaticSegFormer, a novel static structured pruning method designed to enhance the efficiency of deep neural networks for semantic segmentation tasks. This method specifically targets attention layers within the SegFormer network, aiming to reduce computational complexity (FLOPs) and increase frame rates (fps) without sacrificing performance (mIoU). Experiments on the ADE20K and Cityscapes benchmarks demonstrated a significant increase in fps, up to 34% on Cityscapes, with no drop in mIoU, particularly benefiting smaller encoders and larger images.
