For real-time tasks based on dynamic scenes, we extend semantic segmentation in temporal domain to enhance the spatial accuracy with motion. We utilize a shift-mode network over streaming input to ensure zero-latency output. For the data overlap under shifting network, this paper identifies repeated computation in fixed periods across network layers. To avoid this redundancy, we derive a Shift-Memory Network (SMN) from encoding-decoding baseline to reuse the network values without accuracy loss. Trained in patch-mode, the SMN extracts the network parameters for SMN to perform inference promptly in compact memory. We segment dynamic scenes from 1D scanning input and 2D video. The experiments of SMN achieve equivalent accuracy as shift-mode but in faster inference speeds and much smaller memory. This will facilitate semantic segmentation in real-time application on edge devices. ## Recorded benchmark results A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage. ## Original sources and implementation [Original paper]() [PDF]()
