RDNet: Regression Dense and Attention for Object Detection in Traffic Symbols

Abstract

Identification and detection of traffic identifiers are some of the most challenging tasks in the field of autonomous driving. For object detection, how to obtain deep semantic information and shallow spatial information has always been a permanent subject. This paper proposes a dense network structure for the detection of traffic identifiers; the deep structure of the residual network is used to obtain the high-level semantic information of the detection target; the regression operation is used to obtain the underlying spatial information; the detection structure is higher than the previous The accuracy of the network structure and the generalization ability of the network has been improved; ASPP using the attention mechanism; the main function of ASPP is to obtain a continuous feature map; using the ASPP of the attention mechanism, the prior balance between the receptive field and the feature resolution map is solved; In the paper, a collection of residual networks is used to obtain a variety of acceptance domains; through a regression operation, an effective interactive connection between the receptive field and the acceptance domain is obtained; a deep network using regression residuals allows geometric transformation of the model during data training The ability to improve has been improved; at the same time, the use of a dense network structure has realized the diversity of different receptive fields in the process of multi-scale feature extraction.
