摘要
Deep-learning-based object detectors have substantially improved state-of-the-art object detection in remote sensing images in terms of precision and degree of automation. Nevertheless, the large variation of the object scales makes it difficult to achieve high-quality detection across multiresolution remote sensing images, where the quality is defined by the Intersection over Union (IoU) threshold used in training. In addition, the imbalance between the positive and negative samples across multiresolution images worsens the detection precision. Recently, it was found that a Cascade region-based convolutional neural network (R-CNN) can potentially achieve a higher quality of detection by introducing a cascaded three-stage structure using progressively improved IoU thresholds. However, the performance of Cascade R-CNN degraded when the fourth stage was added. We investigated the cause and found that the mismatch between the ROI features and the classifier could be responsible for the degradation of performance. Herein, we propose a Cascade R-CNN++ structure to address this issue and extend the three-stage architecture to multiple stages for general use. Specifically, for cascaded classification, we propose a new ensemble strategy for the classifier and region of interest (RoI) features to improve classification accuracy at inference. In localization, we modified the loss function of the bounding box regressor to obtain higher sensitivity around zero. Experiments on the DOTA dataset demonstrated that Cascade R-CNN++ outperforms Cascade R-CNN in terms of precision and detection quality. We conducted further analysis on multiresolution remote sensing images to verify model transferability across different object scales.
