• Abstract: This study investigates the effectiveness of modern Deformable Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) for semantic segmentation tasks, particularly in autonomous driving scenarios with fisheye images. These images, providing a wide field of view, pose unique challenges for extracting spatial and geometric information due to dynamic changes in object attributes. Our experiments focus on segmenting the WoodScape fisheye image dataset into ten distinct classes, assessing the Deformable Networks' ability to capture intricate spatial relationships and improve segmentation accuracy. Additionally, we explore different loss functions to address class imbalance issues and compare the performance of conventional CNN architectures with Deformable Convolution-based CNNs, including Vanilla U-Net and Residual U-Net architectures. The significant improvement in mIoU score resulting from integrating Deformable CNNs demonstrates their effectiveness in handling the geometric distortions present in fisheye imagery, exceeding the performance of traditional CNN architectures. This underscores the significant role of Deformable convolution in enhancing semantic segmentation performance for fisheye imagery.
