SegNet is a deep convolutional neural network architecture designed specifically for semantic segmentation of images. It was developed to automatically classify each pixel in an image into predefined categories, enabling detailed understanding of visual scenes. SegNet is known for its encoder-decoder structure, allowing precise delineation of objects and regions within images, making it suitable for applications such as autonomous driving, medical imaging, and environmental monitoring.
