• Abstract summary: We propose a novel feature learning model, referred to as CircleNet, to achieve feature adaptation by mimicking the process humans look at low resolution and occluded objects. Experiments on two pedestrian detection datasets, Caltech and CityPersons, show that CircleNet improves the performance of occluded and low-resolution pedestrians with significant margins.

• Abstract: Pedestrian detection in the wild remains a challenging problem especially when the scene contains significant occlusion and/or low resolution of the pedestrians to be detected. Existing methods are unable to adapt to these difficult cases while maintaining acceptable performance. In this paper we propose a novel feature learning model, referred to as CircleNet, to achieve feature adaptation by mimicking the process humans looking at low resolution and occluded objects: focusing on it again, at a finer scale, if the object can not be identified clearly for the first time. CircleNet is implemented as a set of feature pyramids and uses weight sharing path augmentation for better feature fusion. It targets at reciprocating feature adaptation and iterative object detection using multiple top-down and bottom-up pathways. To take full advantage of the feature adaptation capability in CircleNet, we design an instance decomposition training strategy to focus on detecting pedestrian instances of various resolutions and different occlusion levels in each cycle. Specifically, CircleNet implements feature ensemble with the idea of hard negative boosting in an end-to-end manner. Experiments on two pedestrian detection datasets, Caltech and CityPersons, show that CircleNet improves the performance of occluded and low-resolution pedestrians with significant margins while maintaining good performance on normal instances.

  We propose an object detection model using a Switchable (adaptive) Atrous Convolutional Network (SAC-Net) based on the efficientDet model. The proposed SAC-Net encapsulates the benefits of both low-level and high-level features to achieve improved performance on multi-scale object detection tasks. Our experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed SAC-Net outperforms the state-of-the-art models by a significant margin in terms of accuracy.

  We propose an end-to-end Point Cloud Circle Algebraic Fitting Network (Circle-Net) based on a synergy of deep circle-boundary point learning and weighted algebraic fitting. Unlike most of the cutting-edge circle extraction wisdoms, the proposed classification-and-fitting modules are originally co-trained with a comprehensive loss to enhance the quality of extracted circles. Comparisons on the established dataset and real-scanned point clouds exhibit clear improvements of Circle-Net over SOTAs in terms of both noise-robustness and extraction accuracy.

We propose the Decoupling Head (DH) to disentangle the object classification and regression via the self-learned optimal feature extraction.
