Abstract
Instance segmentation, a crucial task in computer vision, involves identifying and delineating individual objects within images. In this context, leveraging the capabilities of a distributed deep learning big data cluster becomes imperative to handle the computational demands of training complex models on large datasets. This paper presents an approach to instance segmentation using distributed computing resources. The process begins with meticulous data preparation, ensuring a well-labeled dataset with instance-level segmentation masks. The distributed computing cluster is configured, equipped with GPUs, and tailored for efficient data and computation distribution. A suitable deep learning model, such as Mask R-CNN or YOLACT, is selected, with adjustments made to accommodate the characteristics of the dataset and cluster resources. Parallelism is employed at both the data and model levels. Data parallelism facilitates the distribution of training data across cluster nodes, while model parallelism addresses the challenge of large models that may exceed individual GPU memory capacities. Distributed training strategies, including gradient synchronization and parameter updates, orchestrate the collaborative training process. Optimization techniques, such as mixed-precision training and distributed batch normalization, enhance training efficiency. Validation and testing phases ensure the model's generalization and performance on unseen data. Post-training, the model is deployed on the distributed cluster for real-time or batch inference, with optimizations geared towards scalability. Monitoring tools track performance metrics and resource utilization, enabling insights into the distributed instance segmentation system. The ability to scale the cluster dynamically ensures adaptability to varying dataset sizes and model complexities.This abstract encapsulates the key steps and considerations in the implementation of instance segmentation on a distributed deep learning big data cluster, addressing the challenges posed by large-scale datasets and intricate model architectures. The approach outlined in this paper provides a comprehensive framework for researchers and practitioners seeking to harness distributed computing for efficient and scalable instance segmentation in computer vision applications.
