In instance-level detection tasks (e.g., object detection), reducing input resolution is an easy option to improve runtime efficiency. However, this option traditionally hurts the detection performance much. This paper focuses on boosting the performance of low-resolution models by distilling knowledge from a high- or multi-resolution model. We first identify the challenge of applying knowledge distillation (KD) to teacher and student networks that act on different input resolutions. To tackle it, we explore the idea of spatially aligning feature maps between models of varying input resolutions by shifting feature pyramid positions and introduce aligned multi-scale training to train a multi-scale teacher that can distill its knowledge to a low-resolution student. Further, we propose crossing feature-level fusion to dynamically fuse teachers multi-resolution features to guide the student better. On several instance-level detection tasks and datasets, the low-resolution models trained via our approach perform competitively with high-resolution models trained via conventional multi-scale training, while outperforming the latters low-resolution models by 2.1% to 3.6% in terms of mAP.

Convolutional neural networks (CNN) have enabled significant improvements in pedestrian detection owing to the strong representation ability of the CNN features. Recently, aggregating features from multiple layers of a CNN has been considered as an e ffective approach, however, the same approach regarding feature representation is used for detecting pedestrians of varying scales. Consequently, it is not guaranteed that the feature representation for pedestrians of a particular scale is optimised. In this paper, we propose a Scale-Aware Multi-resolution (SAM) method for pedestrian detection which can adaptively select multi-resolution convolutional features according to pedestrian sizes. The proposed SAM method extracts the appropriate CNN features that have strong representation ability as well as sufficient feature resolution, given the size of the pedestrian candidate output from a region proposal network. Moreover, we propose an enhanced SAM method, termed as SAM+, which incorporates complementary features channels and achieves further performance improvement. Evaluations on the challenging Caltech and KITTI pedestrian benchmarks demonstrate the superiority of our proposed method.
Recent advances in image-based 3D human shape estimation have been driven by the significant improvement in representation power afforded by deep neural networks. Although current approaches have demonstrated the potential in real world settings, the y still fail to produce reconstructions with the level of detail often present in the input images. We argue that this limitation stems primarily form two conflicting requirements; accurate predictions require large context, but precise predictions require high resolution. Due to memory limitations in current hardware, previous approaches tend to take low resolution images as input to cover large spatial context, and produce less precise (or low resolution) 3D estimates as a result. We address this limitation by formulating a multi-level architecture that is end-to-end trainable. A coarse level observes the whole image at lower resolution and focuses on holistic reasoning. This provides context to an fine level which estimates highly detailed geometry by observing higher-resolution images. We demonstrate that our approach significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art techniques on single image human shape reconstruction by fully leveraging 1k-resolution input images.
The widespread dissemination of forged images generated by Deepfake techniques has posed a serious threat to the trustworthiness of digital information. This demands effective approaches that can detect perceptually convincing Deepfakes generated by advanced manipulation techniques. Most existing approaches combat Deepfakes with deep neural networks by mapping the input image to a binary prediction without capturing the consistency among different pixels. In this paper, we aim to capture the subtle manipulation artifacts at different scales for Deepfake detection. We achieve this with transformer models, which have recently demonstrated superior performance in modeling dependencies between pixels for a variety of recognition tasks in computer vision. In particular, we introduce a Multi-modal Multi-scale TRansformer (M2TR), which uses a multi-scale transformer that operates on patches of different sizes to detect the local inconsistency at different spatial levels. To improve the detection results and enhance the robustness of our method to image compression, M2TR also takes frequency information, which is further combined with RGB features using a cross modality fusion module. Developing and evaluating Deepfake detection methods requires large-scale datasets. However, we observe that samples in existing benchmarks contain severe artifacts and lack diversity. This motivates us to introduce a high-quality Deepfake dataset, SR-DF, which consists of 4,000 DeepFake videos generated by state-of-the-art face swapping and facial reenactment methods. On three Deepfake datasets, we conduct extensive experiments to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, which outperforms state-of-the-art Deepfake detection methods.

Majority models of remote sensing image changing detection can only get great effect in a specific resolution data set. With the purpose of improving change detection effectiveness of the model in the multi-resolution data set, a weighted rich-scale inception coder network (WRICNet) is proposed in this article, which can make a great fusion of shallow multi-scale features, and deep multi-scale features. The weighted rich-scale inception module of the proposed can obtain shallow multi-scale features, the weighted rich-scale coder module can obtain deep multi-scale features. The weighted scale block assigns appropriate weights to features of different scales, which can strengthen expressive ability of the edge of the changing area. The performance experiments on the multi-resolution data set demonstrate that, compared to the comparative methods, the proposed can further reduce the false alarm outside the change area, and the missed alarm in the change area, besides, the edge of the change area is more accurate. The ablation study of the proposed shows that the training strategy, and improvements of this article can improve the effectiveness of change detection.
Knowledge distillation (KD) has witnessed its powerful ability in learning compact models in deep learning field, but it is still limited in distilling localization information for object detection. Existing KD methods for object detection mainly foc us on mimicking deep features between teacher model and student model, which not only is restricted by specific model architectures, but also cannot distill localization ambiguity. In this paper, we first propose localization distillation (LD) for object detection. In particular, our LD can be formulated as standard KD by adopting the general localization representation of bounding box. Our LD is very flexible, and is applicable to distill localization ambiguity for arbitrary architecture of teacher model and student model. Moreover, it is interesting to find that Self-LD, i.e., distilling teacher model itself, can further boost state-of-the-art performance. Second, we suggest a teacher assistant (TA) strategy to fill the possible gap between teacher model and student model, by which the distillation effectiveness can be guaranteed even the selected teacher model is not optimal. On benchmark datasets PASCAL VOC and MS COCO, our LD can consistently improve the performance for student detectors, and also boosts state-of-the-art detectors notably.
