A significant amount of redundancy exists between consecutive frames of a video. Object detectors typically produce detections for one image at a time, without any capabilities for taking advantage of this redundancy. Meanwhile, many applications for object detection work with videos, including intelligent transportation systems, advanced driver assistance systems and video surveillance. Our work aims at taking advantage of the similarity between video frames to produce better detections. We propose FFAVOD, standing for feature fusion architecture for video object detection. We first introduce a novel video object detection architecture that allows a network to share feature maps between nearby frames. Second, we propose a feature fusion module that learns to merge feature maps to enhance them. We show that using the proposed architecture and the fusion module can improve the performance of three base object detectors on two object detection benchmarks containing sequences of moving road users. Additionally, to further increase performance, we propose an improvement to the SpotNet attention module. Using our architecture on the improved SpotNet detector, we obtain the state-of-the-art performance on the UA-DETRAC public benchmark as well as on the UAVDT dataset. Code is available at https://github.com/hu64/FFAVOD.

Consecutive frames in a video are highly redundant. Therefore, to perform the task of video object detection, executing single frame detectors on every frame without reusing any information is quite wasteful. It is with this idea in mind that we prop
ose RN-VID (standing for RetinaNet-VIDeo), a novel approach to video object detection. Our contributions are twofold. First, we propose a new architecture that allows the usage of information from nearby frames to enhance feature maps. Second, we propose a novel module to merge feature maps of same dimensions using re-ordering of channels and 1 x 1 convolutions. We then demonstrate that RN-VID achieves better mean average precision (mAP) than corresponding single frame detectors with little additional cost during inference.
Video object detection is a tough task due to the deteriorated quality of video sequences captured under complex environments. Currently, this area is dominated by a series of feature enhancement based methods, which distill beneficial semantic infor
mation from multiple frames and generate enhanced features through fusing the distilled information. However, the distillation and fusion operations are usually performed at either frame level or instance level with external guidance using additional information, such as optical flow and feature memory. In this work, we propose a dual semantic fusion network (abbreviated as DSFNet) to fully exploit both frame-level and instance-level semantics in a unified fusion framework without external guidance. Moreover, we introduce a geometric similarity measure into the fusion process to alleviate the influence of information distortion caused by noise. As a result, the proposed DSFNet can generate more robust features through the multi-granularity fusion and avoid being affected by the instability of external guidance. To evaluate the proposed DSFNet, we conduct extensive experiments on the ImageNet VID dataset. Notably, the proposed dual semantic fusion network achieves, to the best of our knowledge, the best performance of 84.1% mAP among the current state-of-the-art video object detectors with ResNet-101 and 85.4% mAP with ResNeXt-101 without using any post-processing steps.
Video objection detection is a challenging task because isolated video frames may encounter appearance deterioration, which introduces great confusion for detection. One of the popular solutions is to exploit the temporal information and enhance per-
frame representation through aggregating features from neighboring frames. Despite achieving improvements in detection, existing methods focus on the selection of higher-level video frames for aggregation rather than modeling lower-level temporal relations to increase the feature representation. To address this limitation, we propose a novel solution named TF-Blender,which includes three modules: 1) Temporal relation mod-els the relations between the current frame and its neighboring frames to preserve spatial information. 2). Feature adjustment enriches the representation of every neigh-boring feature map; 3) Feature blender combines outputs from the first two modules and produces stronger features for the later detection tasks. For its simplicity, TF-Blender can be effortlessly plugged into any detection network to improve detection behavior. Extensive evaluations on ImageNet VID and YouTube-VIS benchmarks indicate the performance guarantees of using TF-Blender on recent state-of-the-art methods.
State-of-the-art (SoTA) models have improved the accuracy of object detection with a large margin via a FP (feature pyramid). FP is a top-down aggregation to collect semantically strong features to improve scale invariance in both two-stage and one-s
tage detectors. However, this top-down pathway cannot preserve accurate object positions due to the shift-effect of pooling. Thus, the advantage of FP to improve detection accuracy will disappear when more layers are used. The original FP lacks a bottom-up pathway to offset the lost information from lower-layer feature maps. It performs well in large-sized object detection but poor in small-sized object detection. A new structure residual feature pyramid is proposed in this paper. It is bidirectional to fuse both deep and shallow features towards more effective and robust detection for both small-sized and large-sized objects. Due to the residual nature, it can be easily trained and integrated to different backbones (even deeper or lighter) than other bi-directional methods. One important property of this residual FP is: accuracy improvement is still found even if more layers are adopted. Extensive experiments on VOC and MS COCO datasets showed the proposed method achieved the SoTA results for highly-accurate and efficient object detection..
Although much significant progress has been made in the research field of object detection with deep learning, there still exists a challenging task for the objects with small size, which is notably pronounced in UAV-captured images. Addressing these
issues, it is a critical need to explore the feature extraction methods that can extract more sufficient feature information of small objects. In this paper, we propose a novel method called Dense Multiscale Feature Fusion Pyramid Networks(DMFFPN), which is aimed at obtaining rich features as much as possible, improving the information propagation and reuse. Specifically, the dense connection is designed to fully utilize the representation from the different convolutional layers. Furthermore, cascade architecture is applied in the second stage to enhance the localization capability. Experiments on the drone-based datasets named VisDrone-DET suggest a competitive performance of our method.
