State-of-the-art semantic segmentation methods rely too much on complicated deep networks and thus cannot train efficiently. This paper introduces a novel Circle-U-Net architecture that exceeds the original U-Net on several standards. The proposed model includes circle connect layers, which is the backbone of ResUNet-a architecture. The model possesses a contracting part with residual bottleneck and circle connect layers that capture context and expanding paths, with sampling layers and merging layers for a pixel-wise localization. The results of the experiment show that the proposed Circle-U-Net achieves an improved accuracy of 5.6676%, 2.1587% IoU (Intersection of union, IoU) and can detect 67% classes greater than U-Net, which is better than current results.
