• Authors: Zhuyu Yao, Jiangbo Ai, Boxun Li, Chi Zhang
• Abstract summary: We propose Efficient DETR, a simple and efficient pipeline for end-to-end object detection. By taking advantage of both dense detection and sparse set detection, Efficient DETR leverages dense prior to initialize the object containers. Experiments conducted on MS COCO show that our method, with only 3 encoder layers and 1 decoder layer, achieves competitive performance with state-of-the-art object detection methods.

• Abstract: The recently proposed end-to-end transformer detectors, such as DETR and Deformable DETR, have a cascade structure of stacking 6 decoder layers to update object queries iteratively, without which their performance degrades seriously. In this paper, we investigate that the random initialization of object containers, which include object queries and reference points, is mainly responsible for the requirement of multiple iterations. Based on our findings, we propose Efficient DETR, a simple and efficient pipeline for end-to-end object detection. By taking advantage of both dense detection and sparse set detection, Efficient DETR leverages dense prior to initialize the object containers and brings the gap of the 1-decoder structure and 6-decoder structure. Experiments conducted on MS COCO show that our method, with only 3 encoder layers and 1 decoder layer, achieves competitive performance with state-of-the-art object detection methods. Efficient DETR is also robust in crowded scenes. It outperforms modern detectors on CrowdHuman dataset by a large margin.

  We present STEMD, a novel end-to-end framework that enhances the DETR-like paradigm for multi-frame 3D object detection. First, to model the inter-object spatial interaction and complex temporal dependencies, we introduce the spatial-temporal graph attention network. Finally, it poses a challenge for the network to distinguish between the positive query and other highly similar queries that are not the best match.

  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.

  We present a simple approach to address the main problem of DETR, the slow convergence. We detect an object bounding box as a pair of keypoints, the top-left corner and the center, using two decoders. Experiments show that Pair DETR can converge at least 10x faster than original DETR and 1.5x faster than Conditional DETR during training.

  We propose a simple '' module for the detection head of two-stage object detectors to improve the recall of partially occluded objects. The module predicts a tri-layer of segmentation masks for the target object, the occluder and the occludee, and by doing so is able to better predict the mask of the target object. We also establish a COCO evaluation dataset to measure the recall performance of partially occluded and separated objects.
