Multi-Scale Region-based Fully Convolutional Networks

Abstract

A multi-scale R-FCN detection algorithm is presented to solve the problem of region-based full convolution network (R-FCN) in multi-scale object detection. Firstly, in order to solve the problem that R-FCN algorithm has limited receptive field and semantic information in single feature map detection, a multi-scale proposal box (proposal) is obtained by using multi-scale feature maps in the main network. At the same time, in order to make the feature maps of different layers have rich semantic information at the same time during the two-stage detection, the feature maps of different layers are fused from top to bottom. Finally, in order to make the two-stage position-sensitive score map also have good multiscale representation ability, a multi-layer shared convolution method is used to generate the position-sensitive score map. The experimental results on PASCAL VOC dataset show that the multiscale R-FCN algorithm in this paper is better than the original R-FCN algorithm in detection accuracy. At the same time, the detection map shows that the algorithm performs better in multi-scale object detection.
