• Abstract summary: This paper proposes a new SFPN (Synthetic Fusion Pyramid Network) arichtecture to enhance the accuracy of light-weight CNN backones. Experiments prove the SFPN architecture outperforms either the large backbone VGG16, ResNet50 or light-weight backbones such as MobilenetV2 based on AP score.

• Abstract: FPN (Feature Pyramid Network) has become a basic component of most SoTA one stage object detectors. Many previous studies have repeatedly proved that FPN can caputre better multi-scale feature maps to more precisely describe objects if they are with different sizes. However, for most backbones such VGG, ResNet, or DenseNet, the feature maps at each layer are downsized to their quarters due to the pooling operation or convolutions with stride 2. The gap of down-scaling-by-2 is large and makes its FPN not fuse the features smoothly. This paper proposes a new SFPN (Synthetic Fusion Pyramid Network) arichtecture which creates various synthetic layers between layers of the original FPN to enhance the accuracy of light-weight CNN backones to extract objects' visual features more accurately. Finally, experiments prove the SFPN architecture outperforms either the large backbone VGG16, ResNet50 or light-weight backbones such as MobilenetV2 based on AP score.

  This paper revisits FPN in the detection framework and reveals the nature of the success of FPN from the perspective of optimization. The degraded performance of large-scale objects is due to the arising of improper back-propagation paths after integrating FPN. Two feasible strategies are proposed to enable each level of the backbone to look at all objects in the FPN-based detection frameworks.
