The equations, plus runnable OpenCV in both Python and C++.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMTcomputer-visionimage-processingopencvcolor-spacesfundamentalsCNN vs Transformer, quantized: YOLO26-seg and RF-DETR-Seg race for instance masks on an Intel iGPUhttps://condados.ai/blog/yolo26-rfdetr-seg-openvino/https://condados.ai/blog/yolo26-rfdetr-seg-openvino/Two opposite small segmentation models — a 2026-era CNN and a DETR transformer — both quantized to INT8 with NNCF and run on a laptop Intel iGPU. YOLO26-seg's forward pass is ~7.4× faster; RF-DETR-Seg keeps its masks more faithful under INT8.
