Small Object Detection
36 papers with code • 4 benchmarks • 10 datasets
Small Object Detection is a computer vision task that involves detecting and localizing small objects in images or videos. This task is challenging due to the small size and low resolution of the objects, as well as other factors such as occlusion, background clutter, and variations in lighting conditions.

•
As DenseNet conserves intermediate features with diverse receptive fields by aggregating them with dense connection, it shows good performance on the object detection task.
Slicing Aided Hyper Inference and Fine-tuning for Small Object Detection
obss/sahi
•
•
In this work, an open-source framework called Slicing Aided Hyper Inference (SAHI) is proposed that provides a generic slicing aided inference and fine-tuning pipeline for small object detection.
Augmentation for small object detection

We evaluate different pasting augmentation strategies, and ultimately, we achieve 9. 7\% relative improvement on the instance segmentation and 7. 1\% on the object detection of small objects, compared to the current state of the art method on
Small-Object Detection in Remote Sensing Images with End-to-End Edge-Enhanced GAN and Object Detector Network
Jakaria08/Filter_Enhance_Detect
•
•
Inspired by the success of edge enhanced GAN (EEGAN) and ESRGAN, we apply a new edge-enhanced super-resolution GAN (EESRGAN) to improve the image quality of remote sensing images and use different detector networks in an end-to-end manner where detector loss is backpropagated into the EESRGAN to improve the detection performance.

Real-time gun detection in CCTV: An open problem
This article presents a new dataset obtained from a real CCTV installed in a university and the generation of synthetic images, to which Faster R-CNN was applied using Feature Pyramid Network with ResNet-50 resulting in a weapon detection model able to be used in quasi-real-time CCTV (90 ms of inference time with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX-1080Ti card) improving the state of the art on weapon detection in a two stages training.

Boundary discontinuity and its inconsistency to the final detection metric have been the bottleneck for rotating detection regression loss design.
A Normalized Gaussian Wasserstein Distance for Tiny Object Detection
jwwangchn/NWD
•
•
Our key observation is that Intersection over Union (IoU) based metrics such as IoU itself and its extensions are very sensitive to the location deviation of the tiny objects, and drastically deteriorate the detection performance when used in anchor-based detectors.
Local Contrast and Global Contextual Information Make Infrared Small Object Salient Again
On the other hand, FFC can gain image-level receptive fields and extract global information while preventing small objects from being overwhelmed. Experiments on several public datasets demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art ISOS models, and can provide useful guidelines for designing better ISOS deep models.
