CNN for Semantic Segmentation

Learn to use pre-trained semantic segmentation CNNs.

When we discussed CNN for Object Detection, we obtained a rough location for the objects of interest through a bounding box. That is enough in some circumstances, but sometimes we need to know the shape of objects, in addition to their position.

Consider the image below:

Assume that our automated inspection task requires measuring the (x, y) coordinates of some critical microcontroller components in the left-hand side image, along with their orientation in the board plane. We would need a mask for each component such that their blob centroid and main axis angle can be computed.
