Object Detection Wiki

Object detection is a computer technology related to computer vision and image processing that deals with detecting instances of semantic objects of a certain class (such as humans, buildings, or cars) in digital images and videos. Well-researched domains of object detection include face detection and pedestrian detection. Object detection has applications in many areas of computer vision, including image retrieval and video surveillance.

Object Detection

首先，Amusi先安利一個網站，打開下述鏈接后，既可以看到令人熱血沸騰的畫面。

https://handong1587.github.io/deep_learning/2015/10/09/object-detection.html

當初看到這個網址，我很驚訝，鏈接上寫的是2015/10/09，我以為是很老的資源，但看到內容后，著實震驚了。該庫在handong大神的個人主頁上，但并沒有Object Detection多帶帶的github庫。受此啟發，我擅自（因為還沒有得到本人同意）將handong大神的Object Detection整理的內容進行精簡和補充（實在班門弄斧了）。于是創建了一個名為awesome-object-detection的github庫。

Awesome-Object-Detection

接下來，重點介紹一下這個“很copy”的庫。awesome-object-detection的目的是為了提供一個目標檢測（Object Detection）學習的平臺。特點是：介紹的paper和的code（盡量更新！）由于Amusi還是初學者，目前還沒有辦法對每個paper進行介紹，但后續會推出paper精講的內容，也歡迎大家star，fork并pull自己所關注到object detection的工作。

那來看看目前，awesome-object-detection里有哪些干貨吧~

為了節省篇幅，這里只介紹較為重要的工作：

R-CNN三件套（R-CNN Fast R-CNN和Faster R-CNN）

Light-Head R-CNN

Cascade R-CNN

YOLO三件套（YOLOv1 YOLOv2 YOLOv3）

SSD（SSD DSSD FSSD ESSD Pelee）

R-FCN

FPN

DSOD

RetinaNet

DetNet

...

大家對常見的R-CNN系列和YOLO系列一定很熟悉了，這里Amusi也不想重復，因為顯得沒有逼格~這里主要簡單推薦兩篇paper，來凸顯一下awesome-object-detection的意義。

Pelee

《Pelee: A Real-Time Object Detection System on Mobile Devices》

intro: (ICLR 2018 workshop track)

arxiv: https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.06882

github: https://github.com/Robert-JunWang/Pelee

Abstract：An increasing need of running Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models on mobile devices with limited computing power and memory resource encourages studies on efficient model design. A number of efficient architectures have been proposed in recent years, for example, MobileNet, ShuffleNet, and NASNet-A. However, all these models are heavily dependent on depthwise separable convolution which lacks efficient implementation in most deep learning frameworks. In this study, we propose an efficient architecture named PeleeNet, which is built with conventional convolution instead. On ImageNet ILSVRC 2012 dataset, our proposed PeleeNet achieves a higher accuracy by 0.6% (71.3% vs. 70.7%) and 11% lower computational cost than MobileNet, the state-of-the-art efficient architecture. Meanwhile, PeleeNet is only 66% of the model size of MobileNet. We then propose a real-time object detection system by combining PeleeNet with Single Shot MultiBox Detector (SSD) method and optimizing the architecture for fast speed. Our proposed detection system, named Pelee, achieves 76.4% mAP (mean average precision) on PASCAL VOC2007 and 22.4 mAP on MS COCO dataset at the speed of 17.1 FPS on iPhone 6s and 23.6 FPS on iPhone 8. The result on COCO outperforms YOLOv2 in consideration of a higher precision, 13.6 times lower computational cost and 11.3 times smaller model size. The code and models are open sourced.

Quantization Mimic

《Quantization Mimic: Towards Very Tiny CNN for Object Detection》

Tsinghua University1 & The Chinese University of Hong Kong2 &SenseTime3

arxiv: https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.02152

注：看一下這篇paper聯名的機構......2018-05-06發布在arXiv（熱乎乎的還燙手）

Abstract：In this paper, we propose a simple and general framework for training very tiny CNNs for object detection. Due to limited representation ability, it is challenging to train very tiny networks for complicated tasks like detection. To the best of our knowledge, our method, called Quantization Mimic, is the first one focusing on very tiny networks. We utilize two types of acceleration methods: mimic and quantization. Mimic improves the performance of a student network by transfering knowledge from a teacher network. Quantization converts a full-precision network to a quantized one without large degradation of performance. If the teacher network is quantized, the search scope of the student network will be smaller. Using this property of quantization, we propose Quantization Mimic. It first quantizes the large network, then mimic a quantized small network. We suggest the operation of quantization can help student network to match the feature maps from teacher network. To evaluate the generalization of our hypothesis, we carry out experiments on various popular CNNs including VGG and Resnet, as well as different detection frameworks including Faster R-CNN and R-FCN. Experiments on Pascal VOC and WIDER FACE verify our Quantization Mimic algorithm can be applied on various settings and outperforms state-of-the-art model acceleration methods given limited computing resouces.
