Source Excerpt
Real-time perception is a foundational requirement for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles, yet embedded automotive platforms impose severe constraints on compute, memory, and power. This paper presents an optimized semantic segmentation architecture derived from the RetinaNet detection framework, adapted for dense pixel-wise prediction and tailored for deployment on resource-constrained embedded hardware. The proposed architecture, termed Opt-RetinaSeg, replaces th
