This repository contains the source code and documentation for my specialized project on Image Segmentation, focusing on the use of the Albumentations library and PyTorch framework. The project showcases the development of an in-depth understanding and application of segmentation datasets, particularly emphasizing the creation of custom dataset classes for image-mask datasets, implementation of data augmentation strategies, and utilization of state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks for segmentation tasks.
The project aims to address the challenges of image segmentation, a crucial task in various applications such as medical imaging, autonomous driving, and scene understanding. By leveraging the Albumentations library, we implemented robust image and mask augmentation techniques to improve the model's generalization capabilities. Additionally, we explored the use of a pre-trained U-Net model, fine-tuning it for our specific segmentation tasks to achieve state-of-the-art performance.
