• Title: MRDet: A Multi-Head Network for Accurate Oriented Object Detection in Aerial Images
• Authors: Ran Qin and Qingjie Liu and Guangshuai Gao and Di Huang and Yunhong Wang
• Abstract summary: We propose an arbitrary-oriented region proposal network (AO-RPN) to generate oriented proposals transformed from horizontal anchors. To obtain accurate bounding boxes, we decouple the detection task into multiple subtasks and propose a multi-head network. Each head is specially designed to learn the features optimal for the corresponding task, which allows our network to detect objects accurately.

• Abstract: Objects in aerial images usually have arbitrary orientations and are densely located over the ground, making them extremely challenge to be detected. Many recently developed methods attempt to solve these issues by estimating an extra orientation parameter and placing dense anchors, which will result in high model complexity and computational costs. In this paper, we propose an arbitrary-oriented region proposal network (AO-RPN) to generate oriented proposals transformed from horizontal anchors. The AO-RPN is very efficient with only a few amounts of parameters increase than the original RPN. Furthermore, to obtain accurate bounding boxes, we decouple the detection task into multiple subtasks and propose a multi-head network to accomplish them. Each head is specially designed to learn the features optimal for the corresponding task, which allows our network to detect objects accurately. We name it MRDet short for Multi-head Rotated object Detector for convenience. We test the proposed MRDet on two challenging benchmarks, i.e., DOTA and HRSC2016, and compare it with several state-of-the-art methods. Our method achieves very promising results which clearly demonstrate its effectiveness.

  We design a Knowledge Discovery Network (KDN) to implement the renormalization group theory in terms of efficient feature extraction. Renormalized connection (RC) on the KDN enables synergistic focusing'' of multi-scale features. RCs extend the multi-level feature's divide-and-conquer'' mechanism of the FPN-based detectors to a wide range of scale-preferred tasks.

  Oriented object detection is a practical and challenging task in remote sensing image interpretation.

We propose a novel Anchor-free Oriented Proposal Generator (AOPG) that abandons the horizontal boxes-related operations from the network architecture.
