Single-Shot Two-Pronged Detector with Rectified IoU Loss

In the CNN based object detectors, feature pyramids are widely exploited to alleviate the problem of scale variation across object instances. These object detectors, which strengthen features via a top-down pathway and lateral connections, are mainly to enrich the semantic information of low-level features, but ignore the enhancement of high-level features. This can lead to an imbalance between different levels of features, in particular a serious lack of detailed information in the high-level features, which makes it difficult to get accurate bounding boxes. In this paper, we introduce a novel two-pronged transductive idea to explore the relationship among different layers in both backward and forward directions, which can enrich the semantic information of low-level features and detailed information of high-level features at the same time. Under the guidance of the two-pronged idea, we propose a Two-Pronged Network (TPNet) to achieve bidirectional transfer between high-level features and low-level features, which is useful for accurately detecting object at different scales. Furthermore, due to the distribution imbalance between the hard and easy samples in single-stage detectors, the gradient of localization loss is always dominated by the hard examples that have poor localization accuracy. This will enable the model to be biased toward the hard samples. So in our TPNet, an adaptive IoU based localization loss, named Rectified IoU (RIoU) loss, is proposed to rectify the gradients of each kind of samples. The Rectified IoU loss increases the gradients of examples with high IoU while suppressing the gradients of examples with low IoU, which can improve the overall localization accuracy of model. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of our TPNet and RIoU loss.
