• Abstract summary: We propose a lightweight multiple-information interaction network for real-time semantic segmentation, called LMIINet. It effectively combines CNNs and Transformers while reducing redundant computations and memory footprint. With only 0.72M parameters and 11.74G FLOPs, LMIINet achieves 72.0% mIoU at 100 FPS on the Cityscapes test set and 69.94% mIoU at 160 FPS on the CamVid dataset.

• Abstract: Recently, the integration of the local modeling capabilities of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with the global dependency strengths of Transformers has created a sensation in the semantic segmentation community. However, substantial computational workloads and high hardware memory demands remain major obstacles to their further application in real-time scenarios. In this work, we propose a lightweight multiple-information interaction network for real-time semantic segmentation, called LMIINet, which effectively combines CNNs and Transformers while reducing redundant computations and memory footprint. It features Lightweight Feature Interaction Bottleneck (LFIB) modules comprising efficient convolutions that enhance context integration. Additionally, improvements are made to the Flatten Transformer by enhancing local and global feature interaction to capture detailed semantic information. The incorporation of a combination coefficient learning scheme in both LFIB and Transformer blocks facilitates improved feature interaction. Extensive experiments demonstrate that LMIINet excels in balancing accuracy and efficiency. With only 0.72M parameters and 11.74G FLOPs, LMIINet achieves 72.0% mIoU at 100 FPS on the Cityscapes test set and 69.94% mIoU at 160 FPS on the CamVid test dataset using a single RTX2080Ti GPU.

  We propose a new detextbfCoupled dutextbfAl-interactive lineatextbfR atttextbfEntion (CARE) mechanism. We first propose an asymmetrical feature decoupling strategy that asymmetrically decouples the learning process for local inductive bias and long-range dependencies. By adopting a decoupled learning way and fully exploiting complementarity across features, our method can achieve both high efficiency and accuracy.
