DeepLabV3 is a state-of-the-art deep learning architecture designed for semantic image segmentation. Developed by Google Research, it employs atrous convolution (also known as dilated convolution) to effectively capture multi-scale context and produce high-quality segmentation maps. DeepLabV3 improves upon previous models by incorporating atrous spatial pyramid pooling (ASPP), enabling it to analyze images at multiple scales and enhance the accuracy of segmentation tasks across various applications.
