Due to its advantages, semantic segmentation is used in many tasks, such as cancer detection, robot-assisted surgery, satellite image analysis, and self-driving cars. Accuracy and efficiency are the two crucial goals for this purpose, and several state-of-the-art neural networks exist. By employing different techniques, new solutions have been presented in each method to increase efficiency and accuracy and reduce costs. However, the diversity of the implemented approaches for semantic segmentation makes it difficult for researchers to achieve a comprehensive view of the field. In this paper, an abstraction model for semantic segmentation offers a comprehensive view of the field. The proposed framework consists of four general blocks that cover the operation of the majority of semantic segmentation methods. We also compare different approaches and analyze each of the four abstraction blocks' importance in each method's operation. ## 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]()
