Abstract

Image segmentation is crucial across various fields, including medical imaging, autonomous driving, and remote sensing. Even with the advances in segmentation algorithms, it is still difficult to achieve high precision and accuracy, particularly in noisy or complicated situations. The goal of this study is to improve picture segmentation performance through the use of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). Our unique method incorporates a GAN framework into the segmentation process, using a PatchGAN Discriminator to evaluate the realism of the segmentation maps and a U-Net based Generator to generate segmentation maps from input photos. By decreasing the discrepancies between the produced maps and the ground truth, the adversarial training procedure improves the Generator's capacity to produce precise, high-quality segmentations. The results are guaranteed to be realistic and faithful by the Discriminator, which has been taught to distinguish between genuine and produced segmentations. We find that the GAN-based method achieves an impressive 89.24% global accuracy, with a Mean BF Score of 69.32% and a Mean Intersection over Union (IoU) of 66.35%. By contrast, the global accuracies of conventional models like Mask R-CNN, VGG, and ResNet were 83.9%, 82.2%, and 78.2%, respectively. Our approach shows a considerable improvement over traditional models by employing GANs to increase boundary definition and segmentation precision. This work highlights how GANs may be used to tackle picture segmentation problems, providing a promising path forward for more developments in reliable and accurate image analysis.
