DeepLabv3

A semantic segmentation network that pools features at several dilation rates in parallel (atrous spatial pyramid pooling) before classifying each pixel. LibreYOLO ships it for semantic segmentation only.

Install

DeepLabv3 needs no optional extra. Everything it imports is in the base install.

bash
pip install libreyolo

Predict

Weights download from Hugging Face on first use and are cached locally. The -sem filename suffix is required for this family.

Python
from libreyolo import LibreYOLO, SAMPLE_IMAGE model = LibreYOLO("LibreDeepLabv3r50-sem.pt")result = model(SAMPLE_IMAGE, save=True) mask = result.semantic_maskprint(mask.data.shape)   # (H, W) class idsprint(mask.classes)      # sorted class ids present in the image
CLI
libreyolo predict model=LibreDeepLabv3r50-sem.pt source=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LibreYOLO/libreyolo/release/libreyolo/assets/parkour.jpg save=True

Semantic segmentation returns one class id per pixel, not boxes, so result.semantic_mask carries a (H, W) array on .data and the list of class ids present in the image on .classes. conf, iou and max_det are accepted for API parity but have no effect: the model assigns a class to every pixel by argmax, with no confidence threshold or NMS step. See prediction for sources, streaming and result handling.

Variants

Three backbones: dilated ResNet-50, dilated ResNet-101, and dilated MobileNetV3-Large. This is DeepLabv3, not DeepLabv3+, so there is no decoder stage or CRF refinement, matching torchvision's implementation rather than the paper's own reference code.

LibreYOLO does not train DeepLabv3: train() raises NotImplementedError for this family, which the support tier above marks as inference only. The three published checkpoints are torchvision's own COCO-with-VOC-label weights, converted for LibreYOLO's loader.

Validate

val() returns metrics/mIoU and metrics/pixel_accuracy, measured against any dataset in the format you trained on.

Python
from libreyolo import LibreYOLO model = LibreYOLO("LibreDeepLabv3r50-sem.pt")metrics = model.val(data="my-dataset.yaml") print(metrics["metrics/mIoU"])print(metrics["metrics/pixel_accuracy"])
CLI
libreyolo val model=LibreDeepLabv3r50-sem.pt data=my-dataset.yaml

An exported artifact loads back through LibreYOLO() on its file suffix, so a .onnx or .engine file behaves like a checkpoint and returns the same Results. Export lists the arguments every format accepts.

Python
from libreyolo import LibreYOLO model = LibreYOLO("LibreDeepLabv3r50-sem.pt")model.export(format="onnx")model.export(format="tensorrt", half=True)
CLI
libreyolo export model=LibreDeepLabv3r50-sem.pt format=onnxlibreyolo export model=LibreDeepLabv3r50-sem.pt format=tensorrt half=True
Use the exported file
from libreyolo import LibreYOLO, SAMPLE_IMAGE # The factory routes on the file suffix, so an exported artifact loads# like any checkpoint and returns the same Results object.model = LibreYOLO("LibreDeepLabv3r50-sem.onnx")result = model(SAMPLE_IMAGE) print(result.semantic_mask.data.shape)

Licensing

Check the license on the Hugging Face repository of the specific weights you download. Every checkpoint in the LibreYOLO org carries one, and they are not always the same across a family. That repository is the authoritative source; the summary below describes what applied when this page was last verified.

Interpretation
BSD-3-Clause is a permissive license, so this code and these weights can be used in commercial and closed-source products. It asks you to keep the copyright notice, license text and a non-endorsement clause with any copy you redistribute. LibreYOLO's inference graph is torchvision's ASPP head over its ResNet-50, ResNet-101 and MobileNetV3-Large backbones; it is DeepLabv3, not DeepLabv3+, so there is no decoder or CRF, and the paper's training-only auxiliary FCN classifier is excluded. The three published checkpoints are torchvision's official COCO-with-VOC-label weights; their separate LibreYOLO Hugging Face mirrors carry BSD-3-Clause on an implied basis disclosed by torchvision rather than an explicit checkpoint-specific grant, and torchvision's own documentation notes that pretrained-model terms can depend on the training data, leaving that determination to the user.

Verified against LibreYOLO v1.5.0. Support tables, checkpoints and benchmark numbers on this page are generated from the released library and the published weights, not written by hand.
