Pixel-wise semantic segmentation for visual scene understanding not only needs to be accurate, but also efficient in order to find any use in real-time application. Existing algorithms even though are accurate but they do not focus on utilizing the parameters of neural network efficiently. As a result they are huge in terms of parameters and number of operations; hence slow too. In this paper, we propose a novel deep neural network architecture which allows it to learn without any significant increase in number of parameters. Our network uses only 11.5 million parameters and 21.2 GFLOPs for processing an image of resolution 3 × 640 × 360. It gives state-of-the-art performance on CamVid and comparable results on Cityscapes dataset. We also compare our networks processing time on NVIDIA GPU and embedded system device with existing state-of-the-art architectures for different image resolutions.
The ability to perform pixel-wise semantic segmentation in real-time is of paramount importance in mobile applications. Recent deep neural networks aimed at this task have the disadvantage of requiring a large number of floating point operations and have long run-times that hinder their usability. In this paper, we propose a novel deep neural network architecture named ENet (efficient neural network), created specifically for tasks requiring low latency operation. ENet is up to 18× faster, requires 75× less FLOPs, has 79× less parameters, and provides similar or better accuracy to existing models. We have tested it on CamVid, Cityscapes and SUN datasets and report on comparisons with existing state-of-the-art methods, and the trade-offs between accuracy and processing time of a network. We present performance measurements of the proposed architecture on embedded systems and suggest possible software improvements that could make ENet even faster.
A fluorescent emitter simultaneously transmits its identity, location, and cellular context through its emission pattern. We developed smNet, a deep neural network for multiplexed single-molecule analysis to enable retrieving such information with high accuracy. We demonstrate that smNet can extract three-dimensional molecule location, orientation, and wavefront distortion with precision approaching the theoretical limit and therefore will allow multiplexed measurements through the emission pattern of a single molecule.
MobileViT (MobileViTv1) combines convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and vision transformers (ViTs) to create light-weight models for mobile vision tasks. Though the main MobileViTv1-block helps to achieve competitive state-of-theart results, the fusion block inside MobileViTv1-block, creates scaling challenges and has a complex learning task. We propose changes to the fusion block that are simple and effective to create MobileViTv3-block, which addresses the scaling and simplifies the learning task. Our proposed MobileViTv3-block used to create MobileViTv3-XXS, XS and S models outperform MobileViTv1 on ImageNet-1k, ADE20K, COCO and PascalVOC2012 datasets. On ImageNet-1K, MobileViTv3-XXS and MobileViTv3-XS surpasses MobileViTv1-XXS and MobileViTv1-XS by 2% and 1.9% respectively. Recently published MobileViTv2 architecture removes fusion block and uses linear complexity transformers to perform better than MobileViTv1. We add our proposed fusion block to MobileViTv2 to create MobileViTv3-0.5,0.75 and 1.0 models. These new models give better accuracy numbers on ImageNet-1k, ADE20K, COCO and PascalVOC2012 datasets as compared to MobileViTv2. MobileViTv3-0.5 and MobileViTv3-0.75 outperforms MobileViTv2-0.5 and MobileViTv2-0.75 by 2.1% and 1.0% respectively on ImageNet-1K dataset. For segmentation task, MobileViTv3-1.0 achieves 2.07% and 1.1% better mIOU compared to MobileViTv2-1.0 on ADE20K dataset and PascalVOC2012 dataset respectively. Our code and the trained models are available at https://github.com/micronDLA/MobileViTv3.
we utilize single-molecule microscopy to localize and track fluorescently labeled chaperone and effector proteins in live Yersinia enterocolitica cells, a human pathogen in which the three phases of secretion can be physically and chemically controlled. By combining single-molecule tracking with bacterial genetics, we determine the prevalent diffusive states of chaperone proteins and chaperone:effector protein complexes in the presence and absence of their (putative) cytosolic binding partners. The results allow us to test whether the temporal hierarchy of secretion is regulated by cytosolic T3SS components that interact with chaperone:effector substrates either at the injectisome or while diffusing freely in the cytosol. Understanding the mechanism of temporally-ordered secretion may reveal new strategies for targeted anti-virulence therapies and enable the controlled use of T3SSs for therapeutic purposes.
