What changed
Adapted dense convolutional features with atrous sampling and CRF boundary refinement; later added multi-rate spatial context pooling, image-level context and an encoder–decoder with atrous separable convolutions.
Scientific scope
Adapted dense convolutional features with atrous sampling and CRF boundary refinement; later added multi-rate spatial context pooling, image-level context and an encoder–decoder with atrous separable convolutions. Atrous convolution inherits wavelet/signal-processing and earlier neural precedents. Versions do not all use the same CRF: v3 and v3+ report results without that post-processing. Dense sampling, extra context and decoder refinement are version-specific contributions, not four independent inventions of segmentation.
Evidence
The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof.
