检测回顾一之yolov2

yolov2论文解读

贡献

1. Using a novel, multi-scale training method the same YOLOv2 model can run at varying sizes, offering an easy tradeoff between speed and accuracy
2. we propose a method to jointly train on object detection and classification。 it predicts detections for more than 9000 different object categories. And it still runs in real-time。

Better改进

1. By adding batch normalization on all of the convolutional layers in YOLO we get more than 2% improvement in mAP。

2. we first fine tune the classification network at the full 448×448 resolution for 10 epochs on ImageNet， then fine tune the resulting network on detection，this gives us an increase of almost 4% mAP.。

3. We remove the fully connected layers from YOLO and
   use anchor boxes to predict bounding boxes

   • we eliminate one pooling layer to make the output of the network’s convolutional layers higher resolution
   • We alsoshrink the network to operate on 416 input images instead of 448×448.We do this because we want an odd number of locations in our feature map so there is a single center cell.
   • we also decouple the class prediction mechanism from the spatial location and instead predict class and objectness for every anchor box。
   • With anchor boxes our model gets 69.2 mAP
     with a recall of 88%

4. we run k-meansclustering on the training set bounding boxes to automatically find good priors。for our distance metric we use: d(box,centroid) = 1 − IOU(box,centroid)

5. we predict location coordinates relative to the location of the grid cell. This bounds the ground truth to fall between 0 and 1. We use a logistic activation to constrain the network’s predictions to fall in this range.The network predicts 5 coordinates for each bounding box, $t_x,t_y,t_w,t_h$, and $t_o$. If the cell is offset from the top left corner of the image by $(c_x,c_y)$ and the bounding box prior has width and height $p_w,p_h$, then the predictions correspond to:
   
   Using dimension clusters along with directly predicting the bounding box center location improves YOLO by almost 5% over the version with anchor boxes.

6. We take a different approach, simply adding a passthrough layer that brings features from an earlier layer at 26 × 26 resolution.This gives a modest 1% performance increase

7. Instead of fixing the input image size we change the network every few iterations. Every 10 batches our network randomly chooses a new image dimension size

Faster改进

1. We propose a new classification model to
   be used as the base of YOLOv2, called Darknet-19, has 19 convolutional layers and 5 maxpooling layers
   

Stronger改进

1. We propose a mechanism for jointly training on classification and detection data.During training we mix images from both detection and classification datasets. When our network sees an image labelled for detection we can backpropagate based on the
   full YOLOv2 loss function. When it sees a classification image we only backpropagate loss from the classification-specific parts of the architecture
2. Hierarchical classification,
