Effective Fusion Factor in FPN for Tiny Object Detection

本文提出了一种新的概念：融合因子（fusion factor），以控制深层传递到浅层的信息，以使FPN适应小目标的检测，实验证明，在小目标检测数据集上（如TinyPerson）性能提升明显。

动机

An intuitive question arises: why current FPN-based detectors unfit tiny object detection and how to adapt them to tiny object detection.
The motivation to answer the problem origins from an interesting phenomenon when analyzing experimental results of tiny object detection using FPN.

As shown in Fig. above, the phenomenon is that the performance first increases and then decreases along with the increasing
