πŸš€ Excited to open-source the VDD Semantic Segmentation Model Zoo on Hugging Face.

This release includes:

- πŸ€– CABiNet and YOLO26 semantic segmentation models trained on VDD (Varied Drone Dataset), spanning Nano through XLarge YOLO26 variants plus a CABiNet (MobileNetV3-Large) baseline.
- 🌍 Benchmarked on VDD's varied altitudes, viewpoints, and scenes (urban, rural, natural) β€” a more diverse and challenging setting than single-flight UAV footage.
- πŸ“Š Detailed model cards with evaluation metrics, per-class IoU, confusion matrices, qualitative RGB / Ground-Truth / Prediction comparisons, and training configurations for reproducibility.

Headline numbers:
- πŸ† Best mIoU: 78.83% (YOLO26x-sem)
- ⚑ Best efficiency tradeoff: CABiNet-Large hits 77.76% mIoU at just 54.8 GFLOPs β€” within 1-2 points of the top YOLO26 variantO26x's 430.9 GFLOPs)

The goal is to make benchmarking and experimenting with aerial semantic segmentation easier by providing ready-to-use pretraineat, all trained and evaluatedunder one shared pipeline.

If you're working on UAV perception, autonomous drones, robotics, remote sensing, or real-time semantic segmentation, I hope these resources are useful.
