In segmentation, the task is to assign each pixel of an input image a label - for example, 'dog'. Then, the idea is that neighboring pixels having the same label can be connected together to form a larger region, representing a complete (or partially occluded) dog. So technically, segmentation can be viewed as classification of individual pixels (using the relevant context in the input images), however the goal usually is to identify meaningful regions that represent complete entities of interest (such as dogs). Instructions how to run the example: 1. Download the PASCAL VOC2012 data, and untar it somewhere. http://host.robots.ox.ac.uk/pascal/VOC/voc2012/VOCtrainval_11-May-2012.tar 2. Build the dnn_semantic_segmentation_train_ex example program. 3. Run: ./dnn_semantic_segmentation_train_ex /path/to/VOC2012 4. Wait while the network is being trained. 5. Build the dnn_semantic_segmentation_ex example program. 6. Run: ./dnn_semantic_segmentation_ex /path/to/VOC2012-or-other-images An alternative to steps 2-4 above is to download a pre-trained network from here: http://dlib.net/files/semantic_segmentation_voc2012net.dnn It would be a good idea to become familiar with dlib's DNN tooling before reading this example. So you should read dnn_introduction_ex.cpp and dnn_introduction2_ex.cpp before reading this example program. */ #ifndef DLIB_DNn_SEMANTIC_SEGMENTATION_EX_H_ #define DLIB_DNn_SEMANTIC_SEGMENTATION_EX_H_ #include // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- inline bool operator == (const dlib::rgb_pixel& a, const dlib::rgb_pixel& b) { return a.red == b.red && a.green == b.green && a.blue == b.blue; } // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // The PASCAL VOC2012 dataset contains 20 ground-truth classes + background.
