Pixel-Semantic Revise of Position Learning A One-Stage Object Detector with A Shared Encoder-Decoder
share
We analyze that different methods based channel or position attention mechanism give rise to different performance on scale, and some of state-of-the-art detectors applying feature pyramid are integrated with various variants convolutions with many mechanisms to enhance information, resulting in increasing runtime. This work addresses the problem by constructing an anchor-free detector with shared module consisting of encoder and decoder with attention mechanism. First, we consider different level features from backbone (e.g., ResNet-50) as the base features. Second, we feed the feature into a simple block, rather than various complex operations.Then, location and classification tasks are obtained by the detector head and classifier, respectively. At the same time, we use the semantic information to revise geometry locations. Additionally, we show that the detector is a pixel-semantic revise of position, universal, effective and simple to detect, especially, large-scale objects. More importantly, this work compares different feature processing (e.g.,mean, maximum or minimum) performance across channel. Finally,we present that our method improves detection accuracy by 3.8 AP compared to state-of-the-art MNC based ResNet-101 on the standard MSCOCO baseline.
