Over the past few years, deep convolutional neural network-based methods have made great progress in semantic segmentation of street scenes.

Some recent methods align feature maps … ignore the different roles of stages … greatly affects the inference speed.

… present a novel Stage-aware Feature Alignment Network (SFANet) based on the encoder-decoder structure for real-time semantic segmentation of street scenes.

… Stage-aware Feature Alignment module (SFA) is proposed to align and aggregate two adjacent levels of feature maps effectively.

… by taking into account the unique role of each stage in the decoder, a novel stage-aware Feature Enhancement Block (FEB) is designed to enhance spatial details and contextual information of feature maps from the encoder.

… SFANet respectively obtains 78.1% and 74.7% … (mIoU) at … 37 FPS and 96 FPS on the … Cityscapes and CamVid test datasets … using … a single GTX 1080Ti GPU.
