DeepLab v2
Introduction
DeepLab is a state-of-art deep learning system for semantic image segmentation built on top of Caffe.
It combines (1) atrous convolution to explicitly control the resolution at which feature responses are computed within Deep Convolutional Neural Networks, (2) atrous spatial pyramid pooling to robustly segment objects at multiple scales with filters at multiple sampling rates and effective fields-of-views, and (3) densely connected conditional random fields (CRF) as post processing.
This distribution provides a publicly available implementation for the key model ingredients reported in our latest arXiv paper. It also contains implementations for all methods reported in all our previous papers.

Performance
DeepLabv2 currently achieves 79.7% on the challenging PASCAL VOC 2012 semantic image segmentation task -- see the leaderboard.
Please refer to our project website for details.
Pre-trained models
We have released several trained models and corresponding prototxt files at here. Please check it for more model details.
Cudnn Version
Works best with Cudnn4.
Python wrapper requirements
- Install wget library for python
sudo pip install wget
-
Change DATA_ROOT to point to the PASCAL images
-
To use the mat_read_layer and mat_write_layer, please download and install matio.
