Abstract:Minimum bending radius needs to be strictly controlled when laying cables. Accurate segmentation of cable laying image is the basis of controlling bending radius. Traditional visual and classical semantics segmentation methods do not work well for target segmentation of long and thin cables in complex environment. This paper presents a new cable semantics segmentation method based on improved dualmode fusion semantics for ESANet network. Instead of the RGBD Fusion module in ESANet, an efficient SAGate is used to complete the dualmode feature correction and fusion tasks. The fused features participate in the feature extraction of the subsequent two modes at the same time to achieve accurate segmentation of the thin feature cable mask. By collecting RGB and corresponding depth images of cables with different postures, the results show that the improved ESANet network has a good segmentation effect on slender feature targets such as cables, which is 399% higher than Net model segmentation accuracy (mIoU), and 7.68% higher than SwiftNet singlemode semantics segmentation network of RGB. This method can be extended to other target segmentation tasks with slender feature.
