• Abstract summary: We propose a mobile object detection backbone network architecture search algorithm based on non-dominated sorting for NAS scenarios. The proposed approach can search the backbone networks with different depths, widths, or expansion sizes via a technique of weight mapping. Under similar computational complexity, the accuracy of the backbone network architecture we search for is 2.0% mAP higher than MobileDet.

• Abstract: Recently, Neural architecture search has achieved great success on classification tasks for mobile devices. The backbone network for object detection is usually obtained on the image classification task. However, the architecture which is searched through the classification task is sub-optimal because of the gap between the task of image and object detection. As while work focuses on backbone network architecture search for mobile device object detection is limited, mainly because the backbone always requires expensive ImageNet pre-training. Accordingly, it is necessary to study the approach of network architecture search for mobile device object detection without expensive pre-training. In this work, we propose a mobile object detection backbone network architecture search algorithm which is a kind of evolutionary optimized method based on non-dominated sorting for NAS scenarios. It can quickly search to obtain the backbone network architecture within certain constraints. It better solves the problem of suboptimal linear combination accuracy and computational cost. The proposed approach can search the backbone networks with different depths, widths, or expansion sizes via a technique of weight mapping, making it possible to use NAS for mobile devices detection tasks a lot more efficiently. In our experiments, we verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach on YoloX-Lite, a lightweight version of the target detection framework. Under similar computational complexity, the accuracy of the backbone network architecture we search for is 2.0% mAP higher than MobileDet. Our improved backbone network can reduce the computational effort while improving the accuracy of the object detection network. To prove its effectiveness, a series of ablation studies have been carried out and the working mechanism has been analyzed in detail.

  Most object detection frameworks use backbone architectures originally designed for image classification, conventionally with pre-trained parameters on ImageNet. Recent neural architecture search (NAS) research has demonstrated that automatically designing a backbone specifically for object detection helps improve the overall accuracy. We introduce a neural architecture adaptation method that can optimize the given backbone for detection purposes, while still allowing the use of pre-trained parameters.

  Convolutional Neural Networks achieve state-of-the-art accuracy in object detection tasks.

In this paper, we leverage the prior knowledge about the probabilities that different object categories can occur jointly to increase the efficiency of object detection models. Our experiments using COCO dataset show that our adaptive object detection model achieves up to 45% reduction in the energy consumption, and up to 27% reduction in the latency, with a small loss in the average precision (AP) of object detection.
