- Abstract:
-
With the development of deep learning, objects can be detected with high accuracy and efficiency. However, the detection of small objects remains challenging. The main reason for this is that the relationship between high-level semantic information and low-level feature maps is not fully utilized. To solve this problem, we propose a novel detection framework, called the skip feature pyramid network with a global receptive field, to improve the ability to detect small objects. Unlike previous detection architectures, the skip feature pyramid architecture fuses high-level semantic information with low-level feature maps to obtain detailed information. To extract global information from a network, we apply a global receptive field (GRF) with convolution kernels of different sizes and different dilated convolution steps. The experimental results on PASCAL VOC and MS COCO datasets show that the proposed approach realizes significant improvements over other comparable detection models.
