Shape-Adaptive Selection and Measurement for Oriented Object Detection
Abstract
The development of detection methods for oriented object detection remains a challenging task. A considerable obstacle
is the wide variation in the shape (e.g., aspect ratio) of objects. Sample selection in general object detection has been
widely studied as it plays a crucial role in the performance of the detection method and has achieved great progress.
However, existing sample selection strategies still overlook some issues: (1) most of them ignore the object shape information;
(2) they do not make a potential distinction between selected positive samples; and (3) some of them can only be applied
to either anchor-free or anchor-based methods and cannot be used for both of them simultaneously. In this paper, we
propose novel flexible shape-adaptive selection (SA-S) and shape-adaptive measurement (SA-M) strategies for oriented
object detection, which comprise an SA-S strategy for sample selection and SA-M strategy for the quality estimation of
positive samples. Specifically, the SA-S strategy dynamically selects samples according to the shape information and
characteristics distribution of objects. The SA-M strategy measures the localization potential and adds quality information
on the selected positive samples. The experimental results on both anchor-free and anchor-based baselines and four publicly
available oriented datasets (DOTA, HRSC2016, UCASAOD, and ICDAR2015) demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method
