• Abstract: Knowledge distillation methods are proved to be promising in improving the performance of neural networks and no additional computational expenses are required during the inference time. For the sake of boosting the accuracy of object detection, a great number of knowledge distillation methods have been proposed particularly designed for object detection. However, most of these methods only focus on feature-level distillation and label-level distillation, leaving the label assignment step, a unique and paramount procedure for object detection, by the wayside. In this work, we come up with a simple but effective knowledge distillation approach focusing on label assignment in object detection, in which the positive and negative samples of student network are selected in accordance with the predictions of teacher network. Our method shows encouraging results on the MSCOCO2017 benchmark, and can not only be applied to both one-stage detectors and two-stage detectors but also be utilized orthogonally with other knowledge distillation methods.

  RGB detectors still outperform event-based detectors due to sparsity of the event data and missing visual details. We develop a novel knowledge distillation approach to shrink the performance gap between these two modalities. We show that object-centric distillation allows to significantly improve the performance of the event-based student object detector.

  We propose a novel distillation method with cross-task consistent protocols, tailored for dense object detection. For classification distillation, we formulate the classification logit maps in both teacher and student models as multiple binary-classification maps and applying a binary-classification distillation loss to each map. Our proposed method is simple but effective, and experimental results demonstrate its superiority over existing methods.

  Knowledge Distillation (KD) for object detection aims to train a compact detector by transferring knowledge from a teacher model. We propose inconsistent knowledge distillation (IKD) which aims to distill knowledge inherent in the teacher model's counter-intuitive perceptions. Our method outperforms state-of-the-art KD baselines on one-stage, two-stage and anchor-free object detectors.

  Previous knowledge distillation (KD) methods for object detection mostly focus on feature imitation instead of mimicking the classification logits. We present a novel localization distillation (LD) method which can efficiently transfer the localization knowledge from the teacher to the student. We show that logit mimicking can outperform feature imitation and the absence of localization distillation is a critical reason for why logit mimicking underperforms for years.
