Foreground-Background Imbalance Problem in Deep Object Detectors: A Review
Recent years have witnessed the remarkable developments made by deep learning techniques for object detection, a fundamentally challenging problem of computer vision. Nevertheless, there are still difficulties in training accurate deep object detectors, one of which is owing to the foreground-background imbalance problem. In this paper, we survey the recent advances about the solutions to the imbalance problem. First, we analyze the characteristics of the imbalance problem in different kinds of deep detectors, including one-stage and two-stage ones. Second, we divide the existing solutions into two categories: sampling heuristics and non-sampling schemes, and review them in detail. Third, we experimentally compare the performance of some state-of-the-art solutions on the COCO benchmark. Promising directions for future work are also discussed.

DR Loss: Improving Object Detection by Distributional Ranking
Most of object detection algorithms can be categorized into two classes: two-stage detectors and one-stage detectors. Recently, many efforts have been devoted to one-stage detectors for the simple yet effective architect…

For a long time, object detectors have suffered from extreme imbalance between foregrounds and backgrounds. While several sampling/reweighting schemes have been explored to alleviate the imbalance, they are usually heuri…
Is Heuristic Sampling Necessary in Training Deep Object Detectors?
To train accurate deep object detectors under the extreme foreground-background imbalance, heuristic sampling methods are always necessary, which either re-sample a subset of all training samples (hard sampling methods, …
