• Authors: Jinyan Liu, Jie Chen
• Abstract summary: Current approaches of object detection seldom consider detecting tiny object or the large scale variance problem in high resolution images. We introduce a simple yet efficient approach that improves accuracy of object detection especially for small objects and large scale variance scene. Our approach can make good use of the sparsity of the objects and the information in high-resolution image, thereby making the detection more efficient.

• Abstract: Object detection is a fundamental problem in computer vision, aiming at locating and classifying objects in image. Although current devices can easily take very high-resolution images, current approaches of object detection seldom consider detecting tiny object or the large scale variance problem in high resolution images. In this paper, we introduce a simple yet efficient approach that improves accuracy of object detection especially for small objects and large scale variance scene while reducing the computational cost in high resolution image. Inspired by observing that overall detection accuracy is reduced if the image is properly down-sampled but the recall rate is not significantly reduced. Besides, small objects can be better detected by inputting high-resolution images even if using lightweight detector. We propose a cluster-based coarse-to-fine object detection framework to enhance the performance for detecting small objects while ensure the accuracy of large objects in high-resolution images. For the first stage, we perform coarse detection on the down-sampled image and center localization of small objects by lightweight detector on high-resolution image, and then obtains image chips based on cluster region generation method by coarse detection and center localization results, and further sends chips to the second stage detector for fine detection. Finally, we merge the coarse detection and fine detection results. Our approach can make good use of the sparsity of the objects and the information in high-resolution image, thereby making the detection more efficient. Experiment results show that our proposed approach achieves promising performance compared with other state-of-the-art detectors.

  Small objects are usually sparsely distributed and locally clustered. Massive feature extraction computations are wasted on the non-target background area of images. We propose to reuse the detector's backbone to conduct feature-level object-seeking and patch-slicing.

  We propose an efficient Cascaded Zoom-in (CZ) detector that re-purposes the detector itself for density-guided training and inference. During training, density crops are located, labeled as a new class, and employed to augment the training dataset. This approach is easily integrated into any detector, and creates no significant change in the standard detection process.
