Region proposals are the test-time computational bottleneck in state-of-the-art detection systems.
We solve this issue by inserting a Region Proposal Network (RPN) after the conv5 layer to produce region proposals directly. Thus, there is no need for external region proposals. After RPN, use RoI pooling and an upstream classifier and bounding box regressor just like Fast R-CNN. See Fig.
Slide a small window (3 × 3 in our case) on the conv5 feature map. For each window, we
