CN24

Convolutional (Patch) Networks for Semantic Segmentation

View project onGitHub

Welcome to CN24!

CN24 is a complete semantic segmentation framework using fully convolutional networks. It supports a wide variety of platforms (Linux, Mac OS X and Windows) and libraries (OpenCL, Intel MKL, AMD ACML...) while providing dependency-free reference implementations. The software is developed at the Computer Vision Group, University of Jena.

Why should I use CN24?

  1. Designed for pixel-wise labeling and semantic segmentation (train and test your own networks!)
  2. Suited for various applications in driver assistance systems, scene understanding, remote sensing, biomedical image processing and many more
  3. OpenCL support not only suited for NVIDIA GPUs
  4. High-performance implementation with minimal dependencies to other libraries

Getting started

To get started, clone this repository and visit the wiki! Installation is just a two command lines away. For an even faster introduction, check out one of these examples:

The repository contains pre-trained networks for these two applications, which are ready to use.
