• Abstract: Oriented object detection is a crucial task in computer vision. Current top-down oriented detection methods usually directly detect entire objects, and not only neglecting the authentic direction of targets, but also do not fully utilise the key semantic information, which causes a decrease in detection accuracy. In this study, we developed a single-stage rotating object detector via two points with a solar corona heatmap (ROTP) to detect oriented objects. The ROTP predicts parts of the object and then aggregates them to form a whole image. Herein, we meticulously represent an object in a random direction using the vertex, centre point with width, and height. Specifically, we regress two heatmaps that characterise the relative location of each object, which enhances the accuracy of locating objects and avoids deviations caused by angle predictions. To rectify the central misjudgement of the Gaussian heatmap on high-aspect ratio targets, we designed a solar corona heatmap generation method to improve the perception difference between the central and non-central samples. Additionally, we predicted the vertex relative to the direction of the centre point to connect two key points that belong to the same goal. Experiments on the HRSC 2016, UCASAOD, and DOTA datasets show that our ROTP achieves the most advanced performance with a simpler modelling and less manual intervention.

  We introduce the point-axis representation for oriented object detection, emphasizing its flexibility and geometrically intuitive nature with two key components: points and axes. The point-axis representation decouples location and rotation, addressing the loss discontinuity issues commonly encountered in traditional bounding box-based approaches. We present the Oriented DETR model, seamlessly integrating the DETR framework for precise point-axis prediction and end-to-end detection.

  Hyperspectral target detection (HTD) aims to identify materials based on spectral information in hyperspectral imagery and can detect point targets. Existing HTD methods are developed based on per-pixel binary classification, which limits the feature representation capability for point targets. We propose the first specialized network for hyperspectral multi-class point object detection, SpecDETR. We develop a simulated hyperSpectral Point Object Detection benchmark termed SPOD, and for the first time, evaluate and compare the performance of current object detection networks and HTD methods on hyperspectral multi-class point object detection.

  The RT-DETR model performs well in real-time object detection, but performs poorly in small object detection accuracy. We propose an adaptive feature fusion algorithm that assigns learnable parameters to each feature map from different levels. This enhances the model's ability to capture object features at different scales, thereby improving the accuracy of detecting small objects.

  Existing oriented object detection methods commonly use metric AP$_50$ to measure the performance of the model. We argue that AP$_50$ is inherently unsuitable for oriented object detection due to its large tolerance in angle deviation. We propose an Aspect Ratio Sensitive Oriented Object Detector with Transformer, termed ARS-DETR, which exhibits a competitive performance.

  We argue that the image features extracted at a central point contain limited information for predicting distant keypoints or bounding box boundaries. To facilitate inference, we propose to instead perform regression from a set of points placed at more advantageous positions. We apply this proposed framework, called Point-Set Anchors, to object detection, instance segmentation, and human pose estimation.

For the resulting circularly distributed angle classification problem, we first devise a Circular Smooth Label technique to handle the periodicity of angle and increase the error tolerance to adjacent angles.
