• Authors: Amelie Royer, Christoph H. Lampert
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel flexible detection scheme that efficiently adapts to variable object sizes and densities. We rely on a sequence of detection stages, each of which has the ability to predict groups of objects as well as individuals. We report experimental results on two aerial image datasets, and show that the proposed method is as accurate yet computationally more efficient than standard single-shot detectors.

• Abstract: State-of-the-art detection systems are generally evaluated on their ability to exhaustively retrieve objects densely distributed in the image, across a wide variety of appearances and semantic categories. Orthogonal to this, many real-life object detection applications, for example in remote sensing, instead require dealing with large images that contain only a few small objects of a single class, scattered heterogeneously across the space. In addition, they are often subject to strict computational constraints, such as limited battery capacity and computing power. To tackle these more practical scenarios, we propose a novel flexible detection scheme that efficiently adapts to variable object sizes and densities: We rely on a sequence of detection stages, each of which has the ability to predict groups of objects as well as individuals. Similar to a detection cascade, this multi-stage architecture spares computational effort by discarding large irrelevant regions of the image early during the detection process. The ability to group objects provides further computational and memory savings, as it allows working with lower image resolutions in early stages, where groups are more easily detected than individuals, as they are more salient. We report experimental results on two aerial image datasets, and show that the proposed method is as accurate yet computationally more efficient than standard single-shot detectors, consistently across three different backbone architectures.

  Small objects are usually sparsely distributed and locally clustered. Massive feature extraction computations are wasted on the non-target background area of images. We propose to reuse the detector's backbone to conduct feature-level object-seeking and patch-slicing.

  Current approaches of object detection seldom consider detecting tiny object or the large scale variance problem in high resolution images. We introduce a simple yet efficient approach that improves accuracy of object detection especially for small objects and large scale variance scene. Our approach can make good use of the sparsity of the objects and the information in high-resolution image, thereby making the detection more efficient.

  We tackle the task of estimating the 3D orientation of previously-unseen objects from monocular images. We follow a retrieval-based strategy and prevent the network from learning object-specific features. Our experiments on the LineMOD, LineMOD-Occluded, and T-LESS datasets show that our method yields a significantly better generalization to unseen objects than previous works.
