Build an optimized semantic segmentation solution based on the Visual Geometry Group (VGG)-UNET architecture and oriented to assist drones on safely landing by identifying and segmenting paved areas. The proposed system uses Intel® oneDNN optimized TensorFlow* to accelerate the training and inference performance of drones equipped with Intel® hardware, whereas Intel® Neural Compressor is applied to compress the trained segmentation model to further increase speed up inference. Check out the Developer Catalog for information about different use cases.
Drones are unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or unmanned aircraft systems. Essentially, a drone is a flying robot that can be remotely controlled using remote control devices which communicate with the drone. While drones have huge applications in sectors like urban development, construction & infrastructure, supply chain and logistics use cases, safety is a huge concern.
Drones are used commercially as first-aid vehicles, as tools for investigation by police departments, in high-tech photography and as recording devices for real estate properties, concerts, sporting events, etc. This reference kit model has been built with the objective of improving the safety of autonomous drone flight and landing procedures at the edge (which runs on CPU based hardware) without ground-based controllers or human pilots onsite.
Drones at construction sites are used to scan, record, and map locations or buildings land surveys, tracking machines, remote monitoring, construction site security, building inspection, and worker safety. However, drone crashes are dangerous and can lead to devastation.
In utilities sector, inspecting growing numbers of towers, powerlines, and wind turbines is difficult and creates prime opportunities for drones to replace human inspection with accurate image-based inspection and diagnosis. Drones transform the way inspection and maintenance personnel do their jobs at utility companies. If a drone meets with an accident while landing, it could damage assets and injure personnel.
Safe landing of drones without injuring people or damaging property is vital for massive adoption of drones in day-to-day life. Considering the risks associated with drone landing, paved areas dedicated for drones to land are considered safe. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) system introduced in this project presents a deep learning model which segments paved areas for safe landing. Furthermore, the proposed solution allows an efficient deployment while maintaining the accuracy and speeding up the inference time by leveraging the following Intel® oneAPI packages:
-
Intel® Distribution for Python*
The Intel® Distribution for Python* provides:
- Scalable performance using all available CPU cores on laptops, desktops, and powerful servers
- Support for the latest CPU instructions
- Near-native performance through acceleration of core numerical and machine learning packages with libraries like the Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library (oneMKL) and Intel® oneAPI Data Analytics Library
- Productivity tools for compiling Python* code into optimized instructions
- Essential Python* bindings for easing integration of Intel® native tools with your Python* project
- Scalable performance using all available CPU cores on laptops, desktops, and powerful servers
-

Intel® Neural Compressor
Intel® Neural Compressor performs model compression to reduce the model size and increase the speed of deep learning inference for deployment on CPUs or GPUs. This open source Python* library automates popular model compression technologies, such as quantization, pruning, and knowledge distillation across multiple deep learning frameworks.
The use of AI in the context of drones can be further optimized using Intel® oneAPI which improves the performance of computing intensive image processing, reduces training/inference time and scales the usage of complex models by compressing models to run efficiently on edge devices. Intel® oneDNN optimized TensorFlow* provides additional optimizations for an extra performance boost on Intel® CPU.
For more details, visit Intel® Distribution for Python*, Intel® Optimizations for TensorFlow*, Intel® Neural Compressor, and the Drone Navigation Inspection GitHub repository.
This reference kit leverages Intel® oneAPI to demonstrate the application of TensorFlow* based AI models that works on drone technology to help segment paved areas which increases the probability of landing drones safely.
The experiment focus is drone navigation for inspections. Therefore, the experiment aims to segment the paved area and different objects around the drone path in order to land the drone safely on the paved area. The goal is therefore to take an image captured by the drone camera as input and pass it through the semantic segmentation model (VGG-UNET architecture) to accurately recognize entities, like paved area, people, vehicles or dogs, to then benchmark speed and accuracy of batch/real-time training and inference against Intel®’s technology. When it comes to the deployment of this model on edge devices with less computing and memory resources such as drones themselves, model is quantized and compressed while bringing out the same level of accuracy and efficient utilization of underlying computing resources. Model optimization and compression is done using Intel® Neural Compressor.
Pixel-accurate annotation for drone dataset focuses on semantic understanding of urban scenes for increasing the safety of drone landing procedures. The imagery depicts more than 20 houses from nadir (bird's eye) view acquired at an altitude of 5 to 30 meters above ground. A high resolution camera was used to acquire images at a size of 6000x4000px (24Mpx). The complexity of the dataset is limited to 20 classes and the target output is paved area class. The training set contains 320 publicly available images, and the test set is made up of 80 images. Here the train & test dataset split is 80:20.

Code was tested on Ubuntu* 22.04 LTS.
The semantic segmentation pipeline presented in this reference kit enables the optimization of the training, hyperparameter tuning and inference modalities by using Intel® oneAPI specialized packages. The next diagram illustrates the workflow of these processes and how the Intel® optimization features are applied in each stage.
Training a convolutional neural network, like the VGG-UNET model used in this reference kit, and making inference with it, usually represent compute-intensive tasks. To address these requirements and to gain a performance boost on Intel® hardware, in this reference kit the training and inference stages include the implementation of TensorFlow* optimized via Intel ®oneDNN.
Regarding the training step, the present solution allows to perform regular training and to undertake an exhaustive search of optimal hyperparameters by implementing a hyperparameter tuning scheme.
In the case of the regular training of the VGG-UNET architecture, the efficiency of the process is increased by using transfer learning based on the pre-trained VGG encoder. Also, the machine learning practitioner can set different epochs values to assess the performance of multiple segmentation models. Please refer to this subsection to see how the regular training procedure is deployed.
The semantic segmentation model fitted through regular training can obtain a performance boost by implementing a hyperparameter tuning process using different values for learning rate, optimizer and loss function. In this reference kit, the hyperparameter search space is confined to the few hyperparameters listed in the next table:
| Hyperparameter | Values |
|---|---|
| Learning rates | [0.001, 0.01, 0.0001] |
| Optimizers | ["Adam", "adadelta", "rmsprop"] |
| Loss function | ["categorical_crossentropy"] |
As part of the hyperparameter tuning process, it is important to state that the dataset remains the same with 80:20 split for training and testing (see here for more details about the dataset). Once the best combination of hyperparameters is defined, the model can be retrained with such combination to achieve better accuracy. The hyperparameter tuning execution is shown in this subsection.
Another important aspect of the VGG-UNET model trained with Intel ®oneDNN optimized TensorFlow is that this model is trained using a FP32 precision.
After training the VGG-UNET model using Intel® oneDNN optimized TensorFlow, its inference efficiency can be accelerated even more by the Intel® Neural Compressor library. This project enables the use of Intel® Neural Compressor to convert the trained FP32 VGG-UNET model into an INT8 CRNN model by implementing post-training quantization, which apart from reducing model size, increase the inference speed up.
The quantization of the trained FP32 VGG-UNET model into an INT8 CRNN model and other executed operations based on Intel® Neural Compressor optimizations can be inspected here.

This reference kit presents an AI semantic segmentation solution specialized in accurately recognize entities and segment paved areas from input images captured by drones. Thus, this system could contribute to the safe landing of drones in dedicated paved areas, reducing the risk of injuring people or damaging property.
To carry out the segmentation task, the system makes use of a semantic segmentation model called VGG-UNET. Furthermore, the VGG-UNET model leverages the optimizations given by Intel® oneDNN optimized TensorFlow* and Intel® Neural Compressor to accelerate its training, hyperparameter tuning and inference processing capabilities while maintaining the accuracy.
As next steps, the machine learning practitioner could adapt this semantic segmentation solution for different drone navigation scenarios by including a larger and more complex dataset, which could be used for a sophisticated training based on TensorFlow* optimized with Intel® oneDNN. Finally, the trained model could be quantized with Intel® Neural Compressor to meet the resource-constrained demands of drone technology.
