Abstract:

With the development of artificial intelligence technology, deep learning technology has been widely used in face recognition, pedestrian detection, unmanned driving and other fields. As one of the most basic and challenging problems in machine vision, object detection has attracted extensive attention in recent years. Aiming at the problem of object detection, especially small object detection, this paper summarizes the common data sets and performance evaluation metrics, and compares the characteristics, advantages and difficulties of various common data sets. At the same time, this paper systematically summarizes the common object detection methods and the challenges faced by small object detection. In addition, combing the latest work based on deep learning, this paper introduces the multi-scale and super-resolution small object detection methods in the highlight and presents the lightweight strategy and the performance of some lightweight models based on the object detection. Finally, this paper summarizes the characteristics, advantages and limitations of various methods, and looks at the future development direction of small object detection method based on deep learning.
