Abstract

Previous video object detection methods focus on aggregating the features of other frames into the current frame to alleviate the image degradation, but they rarely focus on multi-class scenes. Aggregating features of different classes will generate confusing information and affect network performance. This problem can be solved by using a classifier to divide the features. However, classifier method has three problems: (a) Heterogeneous high-similarity objects and homogeneous low-similarity objects affect the accuracy of the classifier. (b) Two objects whose positions overlap also affect the classifier. (c) Previous classifier method did not exploit sufficient global information. Therefore, we propose a new method that divides the features of different instances to deal with the problems of (a) and (b). Then we designed two new memories (one is Init Memory and the other is MDR) to solve problem (c). These three parts constitute the MIDFA network. Experiments show that our method achieves 83.76% mAP on the ImageNet VID dataset based on ResNet-101, and 84.6% mAP on ResNeXt-101. In addition, we also conduct experiments on a custom-designed multi-class VID dataset, and adding Instance Division and MDR can increase the mAP of the network by 0.6% compared to using only Init Memory.
