• Abstract: Oriented object detection in aerial images is a challenging task as the objects in aerial images are displayed in arbitrary directions and are usually densely packed. Current oriented object detection methods mainly rely on two-stage anchor-based detectors. However, the anchor-based detectors typically suffer from a severe imbalance issue between the positive and negative anchor boxes. To address this issue, in this work we extend the horizontal keypoint-based object detector to the oriented object detection task. In particular, we first detect the center keypoints of the objects, based on which we then regress the box boundary-aware vectors (BBAVectors) to capture the oriented bounding boxes. The box boundary-aware vectors are distributed in the four quadrants of a Cartesian coordinate system for all arbitrarily oriented objects. To relieve the difficulty of learning the vectors in the corner cases, we further classify the oriented bounding boxes into horizontal and rotational bounding boxes. In the experiment, we show that learning the box boundary-aware vectors is superior to directly predicting the width, height, and angle of an oriented bounding box, as adopted in the baseline method. Besides, the proposed method competes favorably with state-of-the-art methods. Code is available at https://github.com/yijingru/BBAVectors-Oriented-Object-Detection.

  Pointly Supervised Object Detection (PSOD) has attracted considerable interests due to its lower labeling cost as compared to box-level supervised object detection. We make the first attempt to achieve RS object detection with single point supervision, and propose a PSOD method tailored for RS images. Our method can achieve significantly better performance as compared to state-of-the-art image-level and point-level supervised detection methods, and reduce the performance gap between PSOD and box-level supervised object detection.

• Rigidity-Aware Detection for 6D Object Pose Estimation [60.88857851869196]
  Most recent 6D object pose estimation methods first use object detection to obtain 2D bounding boxes before actually regressing the pose. We propose a rigidity-aware detection method exploiting the fact that, in 6D pose estimation, the target objects are rigid. Key to the success of our approach is a visibility map, which we propose to build using a minimum barrier distance between every pixel in the bounding box and the box boundary.

  Oriented object detection emerges in many applications from aerial images to autonomous driving. Many existing detection benchmarks are annotated with horizontal bounding box only which is also less costive than fine-grained rotated box. This paper proposes a simple yet effective oriented object detection approach called H2RBox.
