MobileNetV2 is a significant improvement over MobileNetV1 and pushes the state of the art for mobile visual recognition including classification, object detection and semantic segmentation.
MobileNetV2 is tuned to mobile phone CPUs through a combination of hardware- aware network architecture search (NAS) complemented by the NetAdapt algorithm and then subsequently improved through novel architecture advances.Nov 20, 2019.
MobileNetV2 builds upon the ideas from MobileNetV1, using depthwise separable convolution as efficient building blocks. However, V2 introduces two new features to the architecture: 1) linear bottlenecks between the layers, and 2) shortcut connections between the bottlenecks1.
