A Single-shot Object Detector with Feature Aggragation and Enhancement

8 Feb 2019  ·  Weiqiang Li, Guizhong Liu ·

For many real applications, it is equally important to detect objects accurately and quickly. In this paper, we propose an accurate and efficient single shot object detector with feature aggregation and enhancement (FAENet). Our motivation is to enhance and exploit the shallow and deep feature maps of the whole network simultaneously. To achieve it we introduce a pair of novel feature aggregation modules and two feature enhancement blocks, and integrate them into the original structure of SSD. Extensive experiments on both the PASCAL VOC and MS COCO datasets demonstrate that the proposed method achieves much higher accuracy than SSD. In addition, our method performs better than the state-of-the-art one-stage detector RefineDet on small objects and can run at a faster speed.
