• Title: Learning Gaussian Maps for Dense Object Detection
• Authors: Sonaal Kant
• Abstract summary: We review common and highly accurate object detection methods on the scenes where numerous similar looking objects are placed in close proximity with each other. We show that, multi-task learning of gaussian maps along with classification and bounding box regression gives us a significant boost in accuracy over the baseline. Our method also achieves the state of the art accuracy on the SKU110K citesku110k dataset.

• Abstract: Object detection is a famous branch of research in computer vision, many state of the art object detection algorithms have been introduced in the recent past, but how good are those object detectors when it comes to dense object detection? In this paper we review common and highly accurate object detection methods on the scenes where numerous similar looking objects are placed in close proximity with each other. We also show that, multi-task learning of gaussian maps along with classification and bounding box regression gives us a significant boost in accuracy over the baseline. We introduce Gaussian Layer and Gaussian Decoder in the existing RetinaNet network for better accuracy in dense scenes, with the same computational cost as the RetinaNet. We show the gain of 6\% and 5\% in mAP with respect to baseline RetinaNet. Our method also achieves the state of the art accuracy on the SKU110K \cite{sku110k} dataset.

  We propose several novel extensions to state-of-the-art methods for monocular object detection from images at long range. Firstly, we propose Sigmoid and ReLU-like encodings when modeling depth estimation as a regression task. Secondly, we frame the depth estimation as a classification problem and introduce a Soft-Argmax function in the calculation of the training loss.

  We try to use locally connected Gaussian kernels to replace the original convolution filter to estimate the spatial position in the density map. Inspired by previous work, we propose a low-rank approximation accompanied with translation invariance to favorably implement the approximation of massive Gaussian convolution. Our methods significantly outperform other state-of-the-art methods and achieve promising learning of the spatial position of objects.
