Deep learning architectures such as U-Net and Mask R-CNN are specialized neural network models designed for image segmentation and object detection tasks. U-Net, primarily used in biomedical image segmentation, features an encoder-decoder structure that captures both local and global context. Mask R-CNN extends Faster R-CNN by adding a branch for predicting segmentation masks, enabling instance-level segmentation in complex scenes. These architectures have revolutionized computer vision applications by providing precise and efficient methods for understanding visual data.
