🌟 VFNet: IMHO, is the best anchor-free single-stage model, and it's not under the radar.

VariFocalNet: An IoU-aware Dense Object Detector

🧊 Background:
📌 Accurately ranking candidate detections is crucial for dense object detectors to achieve high performance.
...
📌 Prior work uses the classification score or a combination of classification and predicted localization scores (centerness) to rank candidates.

📌 Those 2 scores are still not optimal.

🧊 Novelty:
📌 VFNet proposes to learn an IoU-Aware Classification Score (IACS)
📌IACS is used as a joint representation of object presence confidence and localization accuracy using IoU

📌 VFNet introduces the VariFocal Loss

📌 The VariFocal Loss down-weights only negative examples for addressing the class imbalance problem during training.

4 types of imbalance issues in object detection that you should know:

Here is a brief description of each one of them and some potential solutions.

• Scale imbalance
• Objective imbalance
• Class imbalance
• Spatial imbalance
🔸 Scale imbalance
It happens when the objects have different sizes with different numbers of objects: e.g. small objects vs. big objects.

✅ Potential Solution
• Oversample small objects using the Copy&Paste data augmentation
• Use higher resolution images
🔸 Objective imbalance
It happens when calculating a total loss (classification and regression losses). One loss might dominate another.

✅ Potential Solution
• Use the weighted loss

How do you use transfer learning with images with 3+ (or 1) channel(s)?

Timm library, developed by @wightmanr, has an elegant way to handle that:

You can specify any input channel number (e.g. in_chans=1 or in_chans=8) using timm.create_model() function like this:
@wightmanr m = timm.create_model('resnet34', pretrained=True, in_chans=8)

How does it work?

• Case 1: number of input channels is 1
timm simply sums the 3 channel weights into one single channel
@wightmanr • Case 2: number of input channels is 8 (more than 3)
timm repeats the 3 channel weights as many times as required, and then select the required number of input channels weights

In 8 channels example, that would be: repeat 3 times (9 channels generated), then keep the first 8

🔥 ZSD-YOLO: Zero-Shot YOLO Detection using Vision-Language Knowledge Distillation

Heads up: I’m preparing a visual summary on ZSD-YOLO.

So, what is Zero-Shot Detection?
• Zero-shot detection allows a model to detect something in an image even if the model has never seen that thing before

• So, if you have an image of a Chimpanzee and the model has never seen a Chimpanzee before, you can use your zero-shot detector to locate it in the image
• ZSD-YOLO leverages 2 models:
- CLIP: a pretrained Vision-Language model
- YOLOv5: a modified version that replaces the classification branch
