The proposed parallel inference network, MFARANet, is a real-time semantic segmentation framework that achieves a good trade-off between speed and accuracy. It employs a shallow backbone to ensure real-time processing while compensating for the reduced model capacity with three core components: Multi-level Feature Aggregation Module (MFAM), Recursive Alignment Module (RAM), and Adaptive Scores Fusion Module (ASFM). These components work together to aggregate features, align multi-scale feature maps, and fuse scores from independent parallel inference. The framework outperforms state-of-the-art real-time methods on Cityscapes and CamVid datasets.

MFARANet is a new way to do semantic segmentation quickly and accurately. It’s like a superpower for computers that helps them understand what they see in the world. Right now, most computer vision models are either really fast but not very good at getting things right or really good but take forever to work. MFARANet tries to find a balance between speed and accuracy by using special tricks like combining features from different levels and aligning information from different parts of an image.
