摘要

This study systematically benchmarks eight real-time semantic segmentation models—ENet, ICNet, BiSeNet V1, Fast-SCNN, BiSeNet V2, PIDNet, DDRNet, and TopFormer, across Stanford Background, CamVid, Cityscapes, and Indian Driving Dataset (IDD) under a consistent protocol. Performance is measured using mean IoU, inference speed (FPS), and computational efficiency (FLOPs and parameter count). Results reveal trade-offs driven by dataset characteristics and architectural design. Multi-branch networks with distinct high-resolution spatial and global contextual pathways, such as PIDNet (83.19% mIoU on CamVid) and BiSeNet V1 (64.78% mIoU on IDD Lite), generalize better to unstructured environments. Ultra-lightweight models like Fast-SCNN and ICNet achieve higher inference speeds (Fast-SCNN reaching a peak inference speed of 1279 FPS on an NVIDIA RTX 4070) at the cost of segmentation quality. These findings offer practical guidance for real-time model selection.
