Semantic segmentation assigns a semantic category to each pixel in the input image, that is, it identifies pixels as part of an object, say, a car, a road, a tree, a horse, etc. Libsegmentation is a segmentation library which can be used in ADAS applications. It offers simple interfaces for a developer to deploy segmentation tasks on a Xilinx® FPGA.

The following is an example of semantic segmentation, where "blue gray" denotes the sky, "green" denotes trees, "red" denotes people, "dark blue" denotes cars, "plum" denotes the road, and "gray" denotes structures.
