Description

We should look into the feature pyramid attention (FPA) module for pixel-precise attention for segmentation features extracted from our resnet encoder.

The GAU modules could be interesting to try out instead of our simple decoder modules, too.

Research direction

Start by reading the referenced Pyramid Attention Network for Semantic Segmentation paper, then inspect the ResNet encoder and existing simple decoder modules. Determine the intended FPA integration points and whether GAU modules are also in scope. Done should mean a defined implementation and evaluation plan for pixel-precise segmentation attention.
