Feature fusion for object detection at one map

作者:

Highlights:

• The feature fusion increases feature interaction in the single-input and single-output framework.

• The feature maps of the same resolution and different receptive fields are fused to achieve a similar function with FPN.

• A weighted method with fast feature dropping is proposed for information-intensive and noisy problem.

• Results on the COCO dataset suggest that the proposed method can reduce feature correlation and improve model performance.
