提出像素级质量评估,解决旋转目标检测中定位精度估计偏差问题。

Pixel-level Quality Assessment for Oriented Object Detection

  • 用像素级空间一致性替代传统框级IoU,避免相似性误导
  • 在HRSC2016和DOTA上提升检测性能,最高增益5.96% AP₅₀:₉₅
  • 可无缝集成到多种旋转检测器,适合追求高精度的场景

现代旋转目标检测器通常基于预测框的质量得分选取最优结果。高检测性能依赖于质量估计与真实定位精度高度一致。现有方法以预测框与真实框之间的交并比(IoU)作为质量代理,但框级IoU预测存在结构耦合问题:因预测框源于对真实框的内部估计,导致定位较差的框其预测IoU被高估。为此,本文提出像素级质量评估(PQA)框架,将框级IoU预测替换为像素级空间一致性融合。PQA衡量每个像素相对于预测框与其对应位置相对于真实框的一致性。通过在像素层面操作,PQA避免直接比较预测框与估计的真实框,从而消除框级IoU预测中的固有相似性偏差。此外,引入新的融合指标,将像素级一致性聚合为统一质量评分,更准确逼近实际定位质量。在HRSC2016和DOTA上的大量实验表明,PQA可无缝集成至多种旋转目标检测器,持续提升性能(如旋转RetinaNet上+5.96% AP₅₀:₉₅,STD上+2.32%)。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Modern oriented object detectors typically predict a set of bounding boxes and select the top-ranked ones based on estimated localization quality. Achieving high detection performance requires that the estimated quality closely aligns with the actual localization accuracy. To this end, existing approaches predict the Intersection over Union (IoU) between the predicted and ground-truth (GT) boxes as a proxy for localization quality. However, box-level IoU prediction suffers from a structural coupling issue: since the predicted box is derived from the detector's internal estimation of the GT box, the predicted IoU--based on their similarity--can be overestimated for poorly localized boxes. To overcome this limitation, we propose a novel Pixel-level Quality Assessment (PQA) framework, which replaces box-level IoU prediction with the integration of pixel-level spatial consistency. PQA measures the alignment between each pixel's relative position to the predicted box and its corresponding position to the GT box. By operating at the pixel level, PQA avoids directly comparing the predicted box with the estimated GT box, thereby eliminating the inherent similarity bias in box-level IoU prediction. Furthermore, we introduce a new integration metric that aggregates pixel-level spatial consistency into a unified quality score, yielding a more accurate approximation of the actual localization quality. Extensive experiments on HRSC2016 and DOTA demonstrate that PQA can be seamlessly integrated into various oriented object detectors, consistently improving performance (e.g., +5.96% AP$_{50:95}$ on Rotated RetinaNet and +2.32% on STD).
