Introduction
PaddleSeg is an end-to-end high-efficent development toolkit for image segmentation based on PaddlePaddle, which helps both developers and researchers in the whole process of designing segmentation models, training models, optimizing performance and inference speed, and deploying models. A lot of well-trained models and various real-world applications in both industry and academia help users conveniently build hands-on experiences in image segmentation.
Features
* **High-Performance Model**: Following the state of the art segmentation methods and use the high-performance backbone trained by semi-supervised label knowledge distillation scheme ([SSLD]((https://paddleclas.readthedocs.io/zh_CN/latest/advanced_tutorials/distillation/distillation.html#ssld))), we provide 40+ models and 140+ high-quality pre-training models, which are better than other open-source implementations.
* **High Efficiency**: PaddleSeg provides multi-process asynchronous I/O, multi-card parallel training, evaluation, and other acceleration strategies, combined with the memory optimization function of the PaddlePaddle, which can greatly reduce the training overhead of the segmentation model, all this allowing developers to lower cost and more efficiently train image segmentation model.
* **Modular Design**: We desigin PaddleSeg with the modular design philosophy. Therefore, based on actual application scenarios, developers can assemble diversified training configurations with *data enhancement strategies*, *segmentation models*, *backbone networks*, *loss functions* and other different components to meet different performance and accuracy requirements.
* **Complete Flow**: PaddleSeg support image labeling, model designing, model training, model compression and model deployment. With the help of PaddleSeg, developers can easily finish all taskes.
