• Abstract summary: Adaptive Rotation Label Assignment (EARL) is proposed to select high-quality positive samples adaptively in anchor-free detectors. In this paper, an adaptive scale sampling (ADS) strategy is presented to select samples adaptively among multi-level feature maps according to the scales of targets. In addition, a dynamic elliptical distribution aided sampling (DED) strategy is proposed to make the sample distribution more flexible to fit the shapes and orientations of targets.

• Abstract: Label assignment is a crucial process in object detection, which significantly influences the detection performance by determining positive or negative samples during training process. However, existing label assignment strategies barely consider the characteristics of targets in remote sensing images (RSIs) thoroughly, e.g., large variations in scales and aspect ratios, leading to insufficient and imbalanced sampling and introducing more low-quality samples, thereby limiting detection performance. To solve the above problems, an Elliptical Distribution aided Adaptive Rotation Label Assignment (EARL) is proposed to select high-quality positive samples adaptively in anchor-free detectors. Specifically, an adaptive scale sampling (ADS) strategy is presented to select samples adaptively among multi-level feature maps according to the scales of targets, which achieves sufficient sampling with more balanced scale-level sample distribution. In addition, a dynamic elliptical distribution aided sampling (DED) strategy is proposed to make the sample distribution more flexible to fit the shapes and orientations of targets, and filter out low-quality samples. Furthermore, a spatial distance weighting (SDW) module is introduced to integrate the adaptive distance weighting into loss function, which makes the detector more focused on the high-quality samples. Extensive experiments on several popular datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of our proposed EARL, where without bells and whistles, it can be easily applied to different detectors and achieve state-of-the-art performance.

  Diffusion models (DPMs) have shown remarkable performance in visual synthesis but are computationally expensive due to the need for multiple evaluations during the sampling. Recent predictor synthesis-or diffusion samplers have significantly reduced the required number of evaluations, but inherently suffer from a misalignment issue. We introduce a new fast DPM sampler called DC-CPRr, which leverages dynamic compensation to mitigate the misalignment.
