Transfer Learning Pre-trained Model Task

Hey,

One of the most common approaches to Transfer Learning is using a model which has been pre-trained to classify ImageNet.

I’m working on a fine-grained image segmentation problem. I’m curious if anyone has experimented with pre-training a model which performs image segmentation on some large, open image segmentation datasets?

If yes, did it out-perform the classic pre-trained ImageNet model?

Also, If you can share any useful resources on this topic, that would be very helpful.

All the best,

Tommy.
