Our framework is illustrated in Figure 1. Path augmentation and aggregation are conducted for improving performance. A bottom-up path is augmented to make low-layer information easier to propagate. We design adaptive feature pooling to allow each proposal to access information from all levels for prediction.
A complementary path is added to the mask-prediction branch. This new structure leads to decent performance. Similar to FPN, the improvement is independent of the CNN structures, such as those of [57, 32, 23].
自底向上的通路增强
Augmented Bottom-up Structure Our framework first accomplishes bottom-up path augmentation. We follow FPN to define that layers producing feature maps with the same spatial sizes are in the same network stage. Each feature level corresponds to one stage. We also take ResNet [23] as the basic stru
