Semantic Segmentation

Introduction

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) technology powered by deep learning models is transforming the mobility and transportation industry. However, AI developers are still facing an uphill battle when trying to transition from the lab to real-world deployments. A common barrier to deployment is the inability to achieve high accuracy and real-time inference performance on edge devices. Both factors are absolutely mission-critical for ensuring not only the application’s usability but also safety for the users.

Leading automotive manufacturers and ADAS providers use Deci to boost their models’ performance and deploy multiple models on edge devices.

The Challenge

An automotive company running a U-Net based segmentation model on a NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX struggled to achieve the target latency in production.

The Solution

Using Deci’s AutoNAC engine, a faster and smaller model was generated. Latency was reduced by 2.1x, model size was reduced by 3x, and memory footprint was reduced by 3x – all while maintaining the original accuracy.
