Precise RoI Pooling

2000년 도입 · 논문 4편에서 사용

Precise RoI Pooling, or PrRoI Pooling, is a region of interest feature extractor that avoids any quantization of coordinates and has a continuous gradient on bounding box coordinates. Given the feature map $\mathcal{F}$ before RoI/PrRoI Pooling (eg from Conv4 in ResNet-50), let $w_{i,j}$ be the feature at one discrete location $(i,j)$ on the feature map. Using bilinear interpolation, the discrete feature map can be considered continuous at any continuous coordinates $(x,y)$: $$ f(x,y) = \sum_{i,j}IC(x,y,i,j) \times w_{i,j}, $$ where $IC(x,y,i,j) = max(0,1-|x-i|)\times max(0,1-|y-j|)$ is the interpolation coefficient. Then denote a bin of a RoI as $bin=\{(x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2)\}$, where $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ are the continuous coordinates of the top-left and bottom-right points, respectively. We perform pooling (e.g. average pooling) given $bin$ and feature map $\mathcal{F}$ by computing a two-order integral:
