RS-TinyNet: Stage-wise Feature Fusion Network for Detecting Tiny Objects in Remote Sensing Images
- 设计多阶段特征增强模块,通过注意力机制突出微小目标
- 在AI-TOD数据集上达到4.0% AP和6.5% AP75的提升
- 适合遥感图像中复杂背景下微小目标检测任务
遥感图像中微小目标检测长期面临空间信息有限、特征表达弱及密集分布于复杂背景中的挑战。尽管已有大量研究,主流检测器仍表现不佳。为此,本文提出专为遥感场景设计的多阶段特征融合增强模型RS-TinyNet,包含微小目标显著性建模与特征完整性重建两项创新。基于此,设计三个逐步增强的特征模块:多维协同注意力(MDCA)利用多维度注意力强化微小目标显著性;辅助可逆分支(ARB)与渐进融合检测头(PFDH)分别保障信息流动与多层级特征融合,弥补语义鸿沟并保留结构细节。在公开遥感数据集AI-TOD上的实验表明,该模型相比现有最先进方法在AP上提升4.0%,在AP75上提升6.5%。在DIOR基准数据集上的评估进一步验证了其在多样遥感场景下的优越性能。结果表明,所提多阶段特征融合策略为复杂遥感环境下微小目标检测提供了有效且实用的解决方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Detecting tiny objects in remote sensing (RS) imagery has been a long-standing challenge due to their extremely limited spatial information, weak feature representations, and dense distributions across complex backgrounds. Despite numerous efforts devoted, mainstream detectors still underperform in such scenarios. To bridge this gap, we introduce RS-TinyNet, a multi-stage feature fusion and enhancement model explicitly tailored for RS tiny object detection in various RS scenarios. RS-TinyNet comes with two novel designs: tiny object saliency modeling and feature integrity reconstruction. Guided by these principles, we design three step-wise feature enhancement modules. Among them, the multi-dimensional collaborative attention (MDCA) module employs multi-dimensional attention to enhance the saliency of tiny objects. Additionally, the auxiliary reversible branch (ARB) and a progressive fusion detection head (PFDH) module are introduced to preserve information flow and fuse multi-level features to bridge semantic gaps and retain structural detail. Comprehensive experiments on public RS dataset AI-TOD show that our RS-TinyNet surpasses existing state-of-the-art (SOTA) detectors by 4.0% AP and 6.5% AP75. Evaluations on DIOR benchmark dataset further validate its superior detection performance in diverse RS scenarios. These results demonstrate that the proposed multi-stage feature fusion strategy offers an effective and practical solution for tiny object detection in complex RS environments.
