Evaluating Context for Deep Object Detectors
Which object detector is suitable for your context sensitive task? Deep object detectors exploit scene context for recognition differently. In this paper, we group object detectors into 3 categories in terms of context use: no context by cropping the input (RCNN), partial context by cropping the featuremap (two-stage methods) and full context without any cropping (single-stage methods). We systematically evaluate the effect of context for each deep detector category. We create a fully controlled dataset for varying context and investigate the context for deep detectors. We also evaluate gradually removing the background context and the foreground object on MS COCO. We demonstrate that single-stage and two-stage object detectors can and will use the context by virtue of their large receptive field. Thus, choosing the best object detector may depend on the application context.
