• Abstract summary: We introduce verification tasks into the localization prediction of RepPoints. RepPoints v2 provides consistent improvements of about 2.0 mAP over the original RepPoints. We show that the proposed approach can more generally elevate other object detection frameworks as well as applications such as instance segmentation.

• Abstract: Verification and regression are two general methodologies for prediction in neural networks. Each has its own strengths: verification can be easier to infer accurately, and regression is more efficient and applicable to continuous target variables. Hence, it is often beneficial to carefully combine them to take advantage of their benefits. In this paper, we take this philosophy to improve state-of-the-art object detection, specifically by RepPoints. Though RepPoints provides high performance, we find that its heavy reliance on regression for object localization leaves room for improvement. We introduce verification tasks into the localization prediction of RepPoints, producing RepPoints v2, which provides consistent improvements of about 2.0 mAP over the original RepPoints on the COCO object detection benchmark using different backbones and training methods. RepPoints v2 also achieves 52.1 mAP on COCO \texttt{test-dev} by a single model. Moreover, we show that the proposed approach can more generally elevate other object detection frameworks as well as applications such as instance segmentation.

  This paper presents a novel end-to-end framework withExplicit box Detection for multi-person Pose estimation, called ED-Pose. It unifies the contextual learning between human-level (global) and keypoint-level (local) information. For the first time, as a fully end-to-end framework with a L1 regression loss, ED-Pose surpasses heatmap-based Top-down methods under the same backbone.

  This paper revisits FPN in the detection framework and reveals the nature of the success of FPN from the perspective of optimization. The degraded performance of large-scale objects is due to the arising of improper back-propagation paths after integrating FPN. Two feasible strategies are proposed to enable each level of the backbone to look at all objects in the FPN-based detection frameworks.
