Abstract

Semantic segmentation involves extracting meaningful information from images or input from a video or recording frames. It is the way to perform the extraction by checking pixels by pixel using a classification approach. It gives us more accurate and fine details from the data we need for further evaluation. Formerly, we had a few techniques based on some unsupervised learning perspectives or some conventional ways to do some image processing tasks. With the advent of time, techniques are improving, and we now have more improved and efficient methods for segmentation. Image segmentation is slightly simpler than semantic segmentation because of the technical perspective as semantic segmentation is pixels based. After that, the detected part based on the label will be masked and refer to the masked objects based on the classes we have defined with a relevant class name and the designated color. In this paper, we have reviewed almost all the supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms from scratch to advanced and more efficient algorithms that have been done for semantic segmentation. As far as deep learning is concerned, we have many techniques already developed until now. We have studied around 120 papers in this research area. We have concluded how deep learning is helping in solving the critical issues of semantic segmentation and gives us more efficient results. We have reviewed and comprehensively studied different surveys on semantic segmentation, specifically using deep learning.© The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2022.
