US Patent 11657279 Electronic device and method for document segmentation

An electronic device and a method for document segmentation are provided. The method includes: obtaining a first feature map and a second feature map corresponding to an original document; performing a first upsampling on the second feature map to generate a third feature map; concatenating the first feature map and the third feature map to generate a fourth feature map; inputting the fourth feature map to a first inverted residual block (IRB) and performing a first atrous convolution operation based on a first dilation rate to generate a fifth feature map; inputting the fourth feature map to a second IRB and performing a second atrous convolution operation based on a second dilation rate to generate a sixth feature map; concatenating the fifth feature map and the sixth feature map to generate a seventh feature map; performing a convolution operation on the seventh feature map to generate a segmented document.
