Abstract An asymmetric semantic multi‐level segmentation method based on depth learning is proposed in order to improve the precision and effect of semantic segmentation. A ‘content tree’ structure and an adjacency matrix are constructed to represent the parent‐child relationship between each image sub region in a complete image. Through multiple combinations of spatial attention mechanism and channel attention mechanism, the similarity semantic features of the target object can be selectively aggregated, so as to enhance its feature expression and avoid the impact of significant objects. The asymmetric semantic segmentation model asymmetric pyramid feature convolutional network (APFCN) is constructed, and the path feature extraction and parameter adjustment are realised through APFCN. On the basis of APFCN network, a full convolution network is introduced for end‐to‐end image semantic segmentation. Combining the advantages of convolution network in extracting image features and the advantages of short‐term and short‐term memory network in solving long‐term dependence, an end‐to‐end hybrid depth network is constructed for image semantic multi‐level segmentation. The experimental results show that the mean intersection over Union value and mean pixel accuracy value are higher than that of the literature method, both of which are increased by more than 3%, and the segmentation effect is good.
