Small Object Detection

42 papers with code • 5 benchmarks • 11 datasets

Small Object Detection is a computer vision task that involves detecting and localizing small objects in images or videos. This task is challenging due to the small size and low resolution of the objects, as well as other factors such as occlusion, background clutter, and variations in lighting conditions.
