Abstract

This paper aims to address the problem of oriented object detection under the complex background of remote sensing images. To this end, we propose a one-stage object detection method with feature fusion structure, and modify the loss function to enhance the detection of small objects. More specifically, on the basis of the end-to-end one-stage object detection model RetinaNet, the method of gliding the vertices of the horizontal bounding box is used to describe an oriented object. In order to obtain multi-scale context information, we design a feature fusion module. Besides, we propose a novel area-weighted loss function to pay more attention to small objects. Experimental results conducted on the DOTA dataset demonstrate that the proposed framework outperforms several state-of-the-art baselines.
