Small object detection using sparsely-connected convolution for less compute with TinyDet

TinyDet: Accurate Small Object Detection in Lightweight Generic Detectors

Small object detection requires … scan a large number of positions on image feature maps, which is … hard for computation- and energy-efficient …

To … detect … with limited computation, … propose a two-stage lightweight detection framework with extremely low computation complexity, termed as TinyDet.

It enables high-resolution feature maps for dense anchoring to better cover small objects, proposes a sparsely-connected convolution for computation reduction, enhances the early stage features in the backbone, and addresses the feature misalignment problem for accurate small object detection.

… TinyDet-M … is the first detector that has an AP over 30 with less than 1 GFLOPs …
