Researchers have developed LiteViLNet, a new lightweight neural network designed for efficient road segmentation in autonomous driving systems. This network effectively fuses RGB camera data with LiDAR geometric information, utilizing a dual-stream lightweight encoder and depth-wise separable convolutions. LiteViLNet achieves a competitive accuracy of 96.36% MaxF score with only 14.04 million parameters, outperforming many heavier models in inference speed and demonstrating its suitability for resource-constrained edge devices.
