- Abstract:
-
To improve the problem of the weak semantic information of the small target in CornerNet, a method of the hierarchical fusion feature pyramid is proposed to increase the average accuracy of the small target. The method first extracts the four feature maps after the fusion of the second half of the backbone network, then convolves the feature maps with a smaller size twice to obtain two new feature maps, and finally uses the ideas of the upper and lower fusion, interlevel fusion, and bypass connection to generate a fused feature map and form it into a feature pyramid. The result shows that the average accuracy for small targets obtained by our algorithm has been greatly improved compared with those by current mainstream algorithms, such as CornerNet, Faster RCNN, and RetinaNet on the MS COCO dataset, which demonstrates great superiority. The inter-level fusion feature pyramid can effectively fuse high-level and low-level feature maps on CornerNet, so that the fused feature maps have strong semantic information, and improve the average accuracy of the small targets of the CornerNet network.
