Abstract

A method for the computing and memory resource-conserving semantic segmentation of image data of an imaging sensor with the aid of an artificial neural network, in particular, a convolutional neural network, the artificial neural network including an encoder path and a decoder path. The method includes: dividing an input tensor into at least one first slice tensor and at least one second slice tensor as a function of a division function, the input tensor being dependent on the image data; outputting the at least one first slice tensor to the decoder path of the neural network; connecting the at least one first slice tensor to the at least one second slice tensor as a function of a connecting function to obtain an output tensor; and outputting the output tensor to the encoder path of the artificial neural network.
