Semantic segmentation is an end-to-end task that requires both semantic and spatial accuracy. It is important for deep learning-based segmentation methods to effectively utilize the high-level feature map whose semantic information is abundant and the low-level feature map whose spatial information is accurate. However, existing segmentation networks typically cannot take full advantage of these two kinds of feature maps, leading to inferior performance. This paper attempts to overcome this challenge by introducing two novel structures. On the one hand, we propose a structure called stride spatial pyramid pooling (SSPP) to capture multiscale semantic information from the high-level feature map. Compared with existing pyramid pooling methods based on the atrous convolution, the SSPP structure is able to gather more information from the high-level feature map with faster inference speed, which improves the utilization efficiency of the high-level feature map significantly. On the other hand, we propose a dual attention decoder consisting of a channel attention branch and a spatial attention branch to make full use of the high- and low-level feature maps simultaneously. The dual attention decoder can result in a more semantic low-level feature map and a high-level feature map with more accurate spatial information, which bridges the gap between these two kinds of feature maps and benefits their fusion. We evaluate the proposed model on several publicly available semantic image segmentation benchmarks including PASCAL VOC 2012, Cityscapes and COCO-Stuff. The qualitative and quantitative results demonstrate that our method can achieve the state-of-the-art performance. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
