Proposal Filtering

Non-maximum suppression is an integral part of the object detection pipeline. First, it sorts all detection boxes on the basis of their scores. The detection box $M$ with the maximum score is selected and all other detection boxes with a significant overlap (using a pre-defined threshold) with $M$ are suppressed. This process is recursively applied on the remaining boxes. As per the design of the algorithm, if an object lies within the predefined overlap threshold, it leads to a miss.

Soft-NMS solves this problem by decaying the detection scores of all other objects as a continuous function of their overlap with M. Hence, no object is eliminated in this process.
