  ## Multiclass semantic segmentation using DeepLabV3+
  This repo contains the model and the notebook [to this Keras example on Multiclass semantic segmentation using DeepLabV3+](https://keras.io/examples/vision/deeplabv3_plus/).

  The model is trained for demonstrative purposes and does not guarantee the best results in production. For better results, follow & optimize the [Keras example]((https://keras.io/examples/vision/deeplabv3_plus/) as per your need.
  
  ## Background Information 
  Semantic segmentation, with the goal to assign semantic labels to every pixel in an image, is an essential computer vision task. In this example, we implement the DeepLabV3+ model for multi-class semantic segmentation, a fully-convolutional architecture that performs well on semantic segmentation benchmarks.   
  
  ## Training Data
  The model is trained on a subset (10,000 images) of [Crowd Instance-level Human Parsing Dataset](https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.12596). The Crowd Instance-level Human Parsing (CIHP) dataset has 38,280 diverse human images. Each image in CIHP is labeled with pixel-wise annotations for 20 categories, as well as instance-level identification. This dataset can be used for the "human part segmentation" task.
  
  ## Model
  The model uses ResNet50 pretrained on ImageNet as the backbone model.
