DeepLab is a series of advanced deep learning models developed for semantic image segmentation, primarily used to classify each pixel in an image into predefined categories. The different versions, including DeepLabV2 and DeepLabV3, integrate progressively more sophisticated techniques such as atrous convolutions (dilated convolutions), spatial pyramid pooling, and multi-scale processing to improve accuracy and contextual understanding. These models are widely adopted in computer vision tasks like autonomous driving, medical imaging, and scene understanding.
