• Abstract: In the field of remote sensing, we often utilize oriented bounding boxes (OBB) to bound the objects. This approach significantly reduces the overlap among dense detection boxes and minimizes the inclusion of background content within the bounding boxes. To enhance the detection accuracy of oriented objects, we propose a unique loss function based on edge gradients, inspired by the similarity measurement function used in template matching task. During this process, we address the issues of non-differentiability of the function and the semantic alignment between gradient vectors in ground truth (GT) boxes and predicted boxes (PB). Experimental results show that our proposed loss function achieves $0.6\%$ mAP improvement compared to the commonly used Smooth L1 loss in the baseline algorithm. Additionally, we design an edge-based self-attention module to encourage the detection network to focus more on the object edges. Leveraging these two innovations, we achieve a mAP increase of 1.3% on the DOTA dataset.

  This study introduces a Sparse Differential Directionality prior (SDD) framework. We leverage the distinct directional characteristics of targets to differentiate them from the background. We further enhance target detectability with a saliency coherence strategy. A Proximal Alternating Minimization-based (PAM) algorithm efficiently solves our proposed model.

Experimental results on the DIOR-R and DOTA-v1.0 datasets demonstrate that PointOBB achieves promising performance.

  Few-shot fine-grained recognition (FS-FGR) aims to recognize novel fine-grained categories with the help of limited available samples. We propose a two-stage background suppression and foreground alignment framework, which is composed of a background activation suppression (BAS) module, a foreground object alignment (FOA) module, and a local to local (L2L) similarity metric. Experiments conducted on multiple popular fine-grained benchmarks demonstrate that our method outperforms the existing state-of-the-art by a large margin.

  Existing detection methods commonly use a parameterized bounding box (BBox) to model and detect (horizontal) objects. We argue that such a mechanism has fundamental limitations in building an effective regression loss for rotation detection. We propose to model the rotated objects as Gaussian distributions. We extend our approach from 2-D to 3-D with a tailored algorithm design to handle the heading estimation.
