| Summary: | The effectiveness of object detection techniques has been greatly enhanced through
the development of deep learning algorithms. Nevertheless, conventional horizontal bounding box object detection algorithms fall short in specialized scenarios such as aerial images with dense, tiny, and oriented objects. This dissertation aims to investigate enhancing the performance concerning detecting densely
clustered objects of small size in aerial imagery, utilizing oriented object detection algorithms. As an extension of horizontal object detection, the oriented
information of detection network excels in handling detection tasks involving
many densely arranged and arbitrarily oriented targets.
The research can be divided into three main contents. Initially, it envelops the
significance and widespread application demand for oriented object detection, especially in the realm of aerial imagery. Following this, a comparative analysis
of some of the existing benchmarks of oriented object detection algorithms is
conducted on notable optical datasets like DOTA v2.0 and SAR datasets including HRSID and SSDD. This experiment provides a substantial reference
for selecting foundational algorithms for subsequent optimizations. Ultimately,
the research pivots towards the optimization based on R3Det, focusing on enhancing the feature fusion network, adjusting the stride of detection head, and
embedding attention mechanisms within the backbone to elevate the perception
capacity towards tiny objects in aerial vistas.
Keywords: Tiny object detection; oriented object detection; aerial images. |
